In the present study, two photocatalytic graphene oxide (GO) and carbon nanotubes (CNT) modified TiO2 materials thermally treated at 300 °C (T300_GO and T300_CNT, respectively) were tested and revealed their conversion efficiency of nitrogen oxides (NOx) under simulated solar light, showing slightly better results when compared with the commercial Degussa P25 material at the initial concentration of NOx of 200 ppb. A chemical kinetic model based on the Langmuir–Hinshelwood (L-H) mechanism was employed to simulate micropollutant abatement. Modeling of the fluid dynamics and photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) kinetics was accomplished with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach for modeling single-phase liquid fluid flow (air/NOx mixture) with an isothermal heterogeneous surface reaction. A tuning methodology based on an extensive CFD simulation procedure was applied to adjust the kinetic model parameters toward a better correspondence between simulated and experimentally obtained data. The kinetic simulations of heterogeneous photo-oxidation of NOx carried out with the optimized parameters demonstrated a high degree of matching with the experimentally obtained NOx conversion. T300_CNT is the most active photolytic material with a degradation rate of 62.1%, followed by P25-61.4% and T300_GO-60.4%, when irradiated, for 30 min, with emission spectra similar to solar light.

We have developed a time-dependent chemical kinetic model to describe the chemistry in the circumstellar envelopes of cool stars, with particular reference to IRC + 10216. Our detailed calculations show that ion-molecule reactions are important in the formation of many of the species observed in IRC + 10216.
