Abstract From the Canadian patent

The invention is concerned with a composite photocatalyst for refractory waste treatment comprising, particles of a wide band gap semiconductor material selected from the group consisting of titanium oxide cadmium sulfide and cadmium selenide, the particles being coated with a polymer film capable of absorbing a refractory waste substrate to be treated and comprising a pyridine-containing polymer and a divalent metal porphyrin or metal phthalocyanine-based dye. The dye is molecularly dispersed throughout the film and chemically bonded to the pyridine-containing polymer. Upon mixing of the photocatalyst with the refractory waste substrate and irradiation with light having a wavelength of …
