Photocatalytic oxidation of fuel oxygenated additives in aqueous solutions by M. Krichevskaya, A. Kachina, T. Malygina, S. Preis, J. Kallas

“…A slightly acidic medium was preferable for the process efficiency for MTBE, whereas a neutral medium was beneficial for de-icing agents and jet fuel aqueous extracts. TiO2 suspension fractional composition was found to be dependent on pH and the presence of organic admixtures: the minimum size of TiO2 particles at their maximum uniformity was established in an acidic medium, where the efficiency of PCO of de-icing agents was the poorest. …”
