Chemistry of the unusually high uptake and recovery of gas-phase Hg0 by TiO2 even under household fluorescent lights

Reaction mechanisms for the removal of Hg0 by a TiO2 photocatalyst in the presence of O2, the main electron acceptor for the photocatalyst, were proposed. The Hg0 removal efficiency was over 90%, and the desorption efficiency was approximately 70%. As the photocatalyst reacted with Hg0, TiO2 was act...
