In addition to the measuring of NOx degradation, in LIFE Photoscaling project, these contaminants and other ones are constantly measured by using two types of meters: The first one (in the left of the picture) reveals the live concentration of NO, NO2, O3 and, moreover, relative humidity and temperature (both also registered by weather stations). The second one (in the right of the picture) keeps a […]
Photocatalytic process depends on weather conditions, specially sun radiation and atmospheric humidity. In order to collect these data and be able to compare with the results of the degradation of pollution, two weather stations have been placed at the photocatalytic slabs. The first weather station is located in IETcc – CSIC (Madrid). The second one has been placed in IETcc – CSIC (Arganda del […]
A huge amount of test will be proven in all of these photocatalytic materials. One of them is the self-cleaning test, but, this time, materials will clean (or not) graffiti painting instead of rhodamine, commonly used. Some initial photographs:
Eva Jiménez has presented the LIFE-Photoscaling project in Sevilla in the workshop called «Light against Pollution». The workshop was organized by the Asociación Ibérica de la Fotocatálisis (Iberian Photocatalytic Asociation) and coordinated by Eptisa. New aspects and current progress of the project were explained.

LIFE-RusaLCA is a Slovenian project. Its principal aim is the reduction of the consumption of drinking water by 30%. LIFE-RusaLCA webpage can be visited here. LIFE-Photoscaling project and LIFE-RusaLCA have met in Brussels in a Networking session.
17 November 2016, Esfer invited IETcc (Eduardo Torroja Institute for Construction Science) to explain photocatalytic reactions in building sector. This workshops took place in Oviedo and LIFE Photoscaling project was presented as a real-life example.
Isabel Martínez and Ángel Castillo show the LIFE Photoscaling project to 4th Year of Primary School children in Colegio Sagrados Corazones de Martín de los Heros (Madrid), in the «Semana de la Ciencia» (Week of Science). They present an awareness-raising activity of children (from 6 years old to 10 years old) about the need of conservation of air quality and solutions that science can propose. The children […]
The two photocatalytic platforms on a pilot plant technical scale have been constructed. Each photocatalytic platform consists of several banks of proofs containing sets of slabs of photocatalytically active materials. Following, few images of these platforms can be seen. Part of finished the Platform 1 (Madrid) Part of the finished Platform 2 (Arganda del Rey)
