Photocatalytic activity can be studied by several methods, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. To study photocatalytic activity in an easy, user-friendly, and realistic way, a completely new setup has been built. The setup is modularly constructed around Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectroscopy at the heart of it, resulting in great versatility. Complementary software has been written for automatic control of the setup and for processing the generated data. Two pollutants, oil and n-octane, are tested to validate the performance of the setup. These validation experiments confirm the usefulness and added value of the setup in general and of the FTIR detection methodology as well. It becomes clear that a system of online measurements with good repeatability, accuracy, and user-friendliness has been created.
光催化活性可以通过多种方法进行研究，每种方法都有其自身的优缺点。为了以一种简单、用户友好且实际可行的方式研究光催化活性，已经构建了一个全新的装置。该装置以傅里叶变换红外光谱（FTIR）为核心进行模块化构建，具有很强的通用性。还编写了配套软件，用于自动控制该装置以及处理生成的数据。测试了两种污染物，即油和正辛烷，以验证该装置的性能。这些验证实验证实了该装置总体上的实用性和附加价值，以及FTIR检测方法的实用性和附加价值。很明显，已经创建了一个具有良好重复性、准确性和用户友好性的在线测量系统。
