Titanium Dioxide [PDF ebook] 
Chemical Properties, Applications and Environmental Effects

Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) have greatly impacted human society as well as natural environments over the past decade, in consequence of their production on a massive scale to support the emerging market for nanotechnology. Among these ENMs, titanium dioxide (Ti O2) nanoparticles have been extensively employed in the development of novel solutions for photocatalytic applications in environmental remediation. This book discusses the fate of Ti O2 and the effects in natural environments. Some other topics discussed include indoor environment control with functional mortars; the production, properties and applications of Ti O2; dye-sensitized Ti O2 for gas detection; Ti O2 induced photocatalytic reduction for organic synthesis; and the effects of Ti O2 nanoparticles on the inflammatory process.
