Abstract
Methods for embedding photocatalytic titanium dioxide in concrete surfaces to reduce pollutants via photocatalytic reactions are provided herein. One method includes applying an amount of concrete treatment compound to an upper surface of the concrete, the concrete treatment compound comprising a mixture of a liquid carrier compound with a titanium dioxide (TiO2) photocatalyst.
Claims18
A method for treating a concrete structure, the method comprising:
- applying an amount of concrete treatment compound to an upper surface of the concrete, the concrete treatment compound comprising a mixture of a liquid carrier compound with a titanium dioxide (TiO2) photocatalyst.
A method, comprising:
- applying a photocatalytic compound to concrete, wherein the photocatalytic compound is capable of uniformly penetrating the concrete down to a depth of at least an eighth of an inch relative to an upper surface of the concrete.
A concrete treatment compound, comprising:
- an amount of a carrier liquid mixed with an amount of a photocatalyst, wherein the carrier liquid is capable of penetrating concrete down to a depth of at least an eighth of an inch relative to an upper surface of the concrete.
