The spectroscopic and photochemical properties of polyurethane coumarin (PUC) in dimethyl sulf-oxide (DMSO), thetra hydro furan (THF), dimethyl formamide (DMF) and film state were investigated at room temperature under one photon excitation. The results show that under irradiation of l ] 310 nm photodimerization process are increased and under UV irradiation with l[ 260 nm, photocleavage of polymer have been evidenced, too.

Authors have successfully synthesized a new environmental catalysis which reacted with harmful formaldehyde in air at room temperature. Although manganese oxide is practically used for a major ingredient of formaldehyde removing materials, intermediates such as formate formed on the surface reduced the removal efficiency. Then, manganese oxide was photodeposited onto the surface of titanium dioxide particles which could decompose certain organic compounds with UV irradiation. It was confirmed that the complex oxide decomposed formaldehyde into carbon dioxide at room temperature. Moreover, UV irradiation enhanced the production of the carbon dioxide.

The environmental temperature has increased significantly reaching 33oC as felt by the community, one of which is in the Aceh region which triggers Global Warming. As a result of the increase in temperature in the Aceh area, many buildings and houses become uncomfortable especially during the daytime because most house with zinc roof. This will cause the temperature in the house and the air around it to increase. Therefore, it is necessary to do research on the study of heat absorption on colored zinc roofs. This research method is to calculate the heat absorption (sun intensity) in zinc that has been coated with several kinds of colors such as white, red, blue, yellow and black. The purpose of this study was to determine the color that has the least amount of heat absorption to the sun's intensity. The highest room temperature on zinc-coated black is 49.2° C and the lowest is in white.  40.9°C from the pen. In the environmental temperature observation, there is the highest temperature at 12.00.  Room temperature increased the highest temperature at 12.00 on black zinc.  The distribution of room temperature can be averaged with a yellow color of 46.0°C, a black color of 49.2°C, a blue of 45.5°C and a white zinc of 40.9 oC.  The heat absorbed in the room is 47.9 joules, so from the overall average of the test it can be described that the room temperature is 45.6 and the zinc temperature is 53.8oC from the highest temperature difference at 12.00 WIB, room temperature and 13.00 WIB the highest absorption occurs at zinc temperature.

Humidity Sensitivity

In this work, a silicon nanopillar array was created with nanosphere lithography. SnO2 film was deposited on this nanostructure by magnetron sputtering to form an SnO2/silicon nanopillar array sensor. The humidity sensitivity, response time, and recovery time were all measured at room temperature (25 °C) with UV or without UV irradiation. As a result, the humidity sensitivity properties were improved by enlarging the specific surface area with ordered nanopillars and irradiating with UV light. These results indicate that nanostructure sensors have potential applications in the field of sensors.

Photo-induced super-hydrophilic thin films were fabricated on a quartz glass substrate by ultraviolet (UV) irradiation of a molecular precursor film at room temperature. A molecular precursor film exhibiting high solubility to both ethanol and water was obtained by spin-coating a solution involving a Ti(IV) complex; this complex was prepared by the reaction of Ti(IV) alkoxide with butylammonium hydrogen oxalate and hydrogen peroxide in ethanol. Transparent and well-adhered amorphous thin films of 160–170 nm thickness were obtained by weak UV irradiation (4 mW·cm−2 at 254 nm) of the precursor films for over 4 h at room temperature. The resultant thin films exhibiting low refractive indices of 1.78–1.79 were mechanically robust and water-insoluble. The chemical components of the thin films were examined by means of Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) spectra, focusing on the presence of the original ligands. The super-hydrophilic properties (evaluated based on the water contact angles on the surfaces) of the thin films after being kept in a dark condition overnight emerged when the aforementioned UV-light irradiation was performed for 10 min. It was additionally clarified that the super-hydrophilicity can be photo-induced repeatedly by UV irradiation for 10 min (indicated by a contact angle smaller than 4°) even after the hydrophilic level of the thin films had once been lowered by being in a dark condition for 4 h.

The effectiveness of ozone treatment for improving the biodegradability of recalcitrant pollutants has been proved by investigating the ozonation reaction of FAST-VIOLET-B (FVB) a bioresistant chemical intermediate of azo-dyes. Laboratory scale experiments have been carried out, at room temperature, by bubbling, for 90 min, ozonated air (9ppmO3/min) into 0.35 1 of an alkaline (pH=11) aqueous solution (50 ppm) of FVB. The experimental results indicate that during the ozonation, even though complete FVB degradation occurs in 10 min, ozone consumption goes on for a further 20 min after which time most degradation reactions are completed. The main ozonation by-products, identified by HPLC, IC, and GC-MS are formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, glyoxal, acetone, acetic-, formic-, oxalic- and carbonic-acid, plus six FVB derivatives scarcely biodegradable. At the end of the ozonation, i.e. after 30 min., the initial values of TOC (35 mgC/l) and COD (103 mgO2/l) are respectively 27 and 25 and correspond to a relative removal of about 23% and 76%. As for FVB solution biodegradability expressed as (BOD5)/(COD) ratio, during the first 10 min its value regularly increases from zero up to a maximum of 0.75 that corresponds to an ozone consumption of 2.4 mg per each mg of organic carbon initially present in the solution.
