Long description

The Nano-FOTOCIDE Photocatalytic Oxidation (PCO) Technology Air/Water Treatment Disinfection Unit provides the most efficient system for the removal of bacteria and pollutants from air and water. As Air/water passes through the unit, pollutants come into contact with the nano-coated Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) honeycomb filter/stainless steel spiral core, triggering off the PCO process whereby harmful pollutants are oxidized and converted into the harmless end products of carbon dioxide and water.

Why Choose Nano-technology for PCO?
Applying Nano-Fotocide's nano-coating technique, a catalytic surface for PCO is generated, allowing for the formation of a homogeneous high density and superior catalysis oxidative potency titanium dioxide anatase to be sequestered tightly onto a solid substratum. The resulting catalytic surface provides the platform for maximum per unit area efficiency for the elimination of pollutants as well as pathogens. Furthermore, the resulting nano-coated titanium dioxides are tightly bound to the catalytic surface, providing it with a distinctive self-cleaning and non-sticky characteristic.

Nano-FOTOCIDE PCO technology not only destroys harmful pollutants in air and water, it does so without the addition of other chemicals, thereby eliminating any potential source of secondary contamination. Surely, it is the state-of-the-art technology for environmental air treatment and water engineering for the 21st century.

Long description

There are four core areas:

* Nano-material fabrications: Integrated manufacturing technologies for nanomaterials including CNTs and fullerenes, and nanoparticles including organic and inorganic compounds. Three existing nanotechnology projects - batteries, transistors and catalysts - will be incorporated into the Institute management to maximize the synergistic benefits.
* Nanobatteries: Lithium batteries and microfuel cells based on ultra-small carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, nanoporous membranes and nanoparticles.
* Nanoelectronics: Transistors and displays based on ultra-fine nanostructures made with organic and inorganic materials.
* Nanocatalysts: Environmental catalysts based on nanomaterials with well-defined structure and chemistry for the effective remediation of airborne and waterborne pollutants.

The Institute with these four core areas will serve as a regional and international focal point for advances in nanotechnology. Technology transfer and commercialization will be promoted by the Institute, thus leading to the development of new nanotechnology-based industries in Hong Kong and the Region.
