Photochemical technology process engineering

Over several years of extensive research and development efforts in these fields a wide-ranging knowledge of environmental applications has accumulated, including analytical methodologies and process engineering of photochemical reactions, e.g. for the generation of OH radicals. This fact manifests itself in the countless scientific and technical publications in various journals that deal with environmental technologies and sustainable development. 

Browsing the vast primary and secondary literature that deals with water or air treatment processes and technologies very quickly leads to a point of dissatisfaction and confusion concerning vague interpretations of experimental results, reaction mechanisms, or descriptions of reactor specifications. Because water and air are essential to our life, they are of special interest not only to researchers and engineers but also to economists and many others. Thus, extra-scientific considerations such as media attention are enormous. Many of these activities generate considerable confusion related to water and its treatment technologies, especially in the case of photochemical methods.
