Evaluation of photo-oxidation effect using TiO2 coated EPS (expanded polypropylene) in the stagnant stream channel

The photocatalyst is not directly applied to the water, because the form of nanoparticle. In this study, we developed a photo-oxidation ball to the improvement of water quality in stagnant water. And we used real-time monitoring data of chl-a to verify the water purification ability of developed balls. TiO2 coated EPS balls were applied to the stagnant channel. We monitored during the algae bloom period. As a result, we could be confirmed that chlorophyll-a was decreased in the installation places the ball during the daytime. However, at night, chlorophyll-a was increased. Algae control by the photo-oxidation balls in the open space was more of a growth inhibition than a remove.References
