Catalyst to employ in the decontamination of aqueous effluents: catalyst based on titanium dioxide (TiO₂) modifications. These modifications are necessary to extend it’s absorption in the visible region, and with this, make it more active to applications that uses solar radiation as energy source. Nanobrax, in this line of products, count nowadays with a catalyst based on the association of TiO₂ with the zinc ftalocyanine dye (in patenting process). With this catalyst it has been made too many tests that proves it’s efficiency in the organic matter degradation. Also, you can find, in phase test preparation, characterization and photocatalytic activity testing, catalyst based on doping of TiO₂ with ions of transition metals. We must say that the elimination of the patogens in solution or even in aerial ways is quite visible with the employ of this catalyst associated with photochemistry technology developed by Nanobrax.

Photodegradable plastics: the photodegradable plastic consists in a product of great interest of Nanobrax because it is an alternative to the biodegradable plastics, a class of products relatively expensive. With this technology the impact with the environment can be reduced a lot. In a general way the presence of additive sensible to the solar light will unchain the generation of free radicals, accelerating the process of degradation of polymeric materials, when exposed to the ambient conditions. The Nanobrax acts in the way to develop photodegradable plastics, and also, additives that will be incorporated to these plastics.

Photochemistry reactors. For example, we may cite a project of the Compound Parabolic Collector – CPC. It reduces in 90% the Chemical Oxigen Demand (COD), employing solar radiation.

Irradiation Autonomous Unity: The Irradiation Autonomous Unity (IAU) are constituted of sets of annular photochemistry reactors connected, which can be or can not be associated to the reactor for solar photocatalysis, acting in this case as secondary on the photocatalytic process, thus serving to accelerate the process of degradation of organic matter. These reactors works with artificial radiation, supplied for light bulbs, and only can be used light bulbs able to supply high doses of ultraviolet radiation, or the combination of light bulbs supplying ultraviolet and visible radiation. High performance bombs guarantee the circulation of the effluent through reactors, in the case of IAU not connected to the reactors for solar photocatalysis. In the case of connected systems, a “by pass” allows the circulation of the effluent, or part of it, through IAU.

Additionally, due to the multidiscipline knowledge of the Nanobrax researchers in the technological applications of photochemistry, may be offered different services as:
