What are the applications of photocatalytic concrete?
The ideal places for utilising photocatalytic concrete are busy streets and high traffic lanes; parking lots, intersections and squares; and gas stations and toll roads.
How does photocatalytic concrete work?
The photocatalytic cement in the concrete contains a catalyst that reacts with sunlight and humidity, a process that already occurs in nature. The photocatalytic reaction heightens and accelerates that natural process, taking advantage of the benefits of sunlight, in this case on the building's exterior surfaces.
What is photocatalytic admixture?
Photo-catalytic concrete is a formulation of concrete used as pavers and other structural concrete that includes titanium dioxide (TiO2) as an admixture or superficial layer.
This photodegradation process transforms these pollution-causing particulates into water-soluble sulfates (nitrates), which are then washed away from the ...
