SOLAR PHOTOCATALITICS

The sun, as our only star can usually give human life many of advantages, besides giving energy for hotosynthesis for lant, it also have another advantage! It radiation can be a llicable for generating electricity by using certain device li"e solar cells! Also, it #ill ma"e im ortant contribution for #aste #ater treatment through hotocatalitics reaction! This ty e of rocess usually a ly for treating dissolved organic ollutant in #ater and also for removing heavy metal ollutant from #ater! The hotocatalitic rocess #ill destroy or brea" u organic ollutant s by o$idi%ing them into #ater and carbondio$ide com ound that more environmental friendly! Then, on to of that #e can use this ty e of technology to su ort Indonesia &overnment go green olicy! That such ne# technology is otential to im rove for better erformance and technology es ecially for #ater furifying system! 'ut, still fe#er Indonesia scientist had develo ed this technology of #ater urification! (evelo ment for this technology is not #idely conducted among Indonesian researchers! It is a ity if Indonesian &overment did not su ort such ros ective and strategic field of research on environment in general and articularly in #ater treatment technology! )hy this technology is not #idely acce ted as good technology for #ater treatment* I thin", it is our res onsibility to build u a#areness of our eo le to that of environmental strategic issues!
