Most industrial chemical processes require large amounts of heat and pressure, whereas photocatalytic reactions may be carried out at room temperature and ordinary pressure. This study focuses on using UVA-activated TiO2 to drive organic processes in order to examine the latter. In this research, Glass beads were immobilized with TiO2 using a unique technique called gyratory induced adhesive coating. The catalyst was subsequently immobilized and employed in a gas phase flow reactor designed for experiments on the oxidation of 2-Chloropropane (2-CP).
