Photocatalytic reactors are devices of proven efficiency in the abatement of gas phase pollutants. Such reactors rely on the properties of a sensitized semiconductor like titanium dioxide. Within the possible geometrical configurations for air treatment, one would typically need the photocatalyst immobilization on a substrate; one of these types is the photocatalytic wall reactor.
