What is BS EN 17120 - Measurement of phenol degradation for water purification about?
BS EN 17120 species test method to evaluate the performance of photocatalytic materials in water purification by measuring phenol degradation.
This test method is applicable to photocatalytic materials in form of powders under UV irradiation. The photocatalytic performance of the tested material is assessed by the observed rate of phenol degradation at specified experimental conditions as determined by HPLC.
Photocatalysis is an advanced oxidation technology for the removal of persistent organic compounds and microorganisms from water and provides high-quality water purification.
