Fine ceramics (advanced ceramics, advanced technical ceramics) — Test method for air-purification performance of semiconducting photocatalytic materials — Part 1: Removal of nitric oxide

ISO 22197-1:2016 specifies a test method for the determination of the air-purification performance of materials that contain a photocatalyst or have photocatalytic films on the surface, usually made from semiconducting metal oxides, such as titanium dioxide or other ceramic materials, by continuous exposure of a test piece to the model air pollutant under illumination with ultraviolet light. This document is intended for use with different kinds of materials, such as construction materials in flat sheet, board or plate shape, that are the basic forms of materials for various applications. This document also applies to materials in honeycomb-form and to plastic or paper materials if they contain ceramic microcrystals and composites. This document does not apply to powder or granular photocatalytic materials. This test method is usually applicable to photocatalytic materials produced for air purification. This method is not suitable for the determination of other performance attributes of photocatalytic materials, i.e. decomposition of water contaminants, self-cleaning, antifogging and antibacterial actions. It concerns the removal of nitric oxide.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).

revised with the following changes:
— deletion of reference to ISO 4677-1 (withdrawn) from Clause 2 and 8.2.2;
— addition of a definition of “dark condition” (3.7);
— change of air-flow rate measurement to a wet gas basis (6.2);
— change of tolerance on dimensions of test piece in Clause 7;
— update of procedure in Clause 8 to reflect the latest knowledge;
— addition of a test method for test pieces with lower performance (new Clause 10).

5 Principle
This document concerns the development, comparison, quality assurance, characterization, reliability,
[1]
and design data generation of photocatalytic materials. The method described is intended to obtain
the air-purification performance of photocatalytic materials by exposing a test piece to model polluted
[2]
air under illumination by ultraviolet (UV) light. Nitric oxide (NO) is chosen as a typical air pollutant
that gives nonvolatile products on the photocatalyst. The test piece, placed in a flow-type photoreactor,
is activated by UV illumination, and adsorbs and oxidizes gas-phase NO to form nitric acid (or nitrate)
[3]
on its surface. A part of the NO is converted to nitrogen dioxide (NO ) on the test piece. The air-
2
purification performance is determined from the amount of the net removal of nitrogen oxides (NO )
x
(= NO removed – NO formed). The simple adsorption and desorption of NO by the test piece (not due
2
to photocatalysis) are evaluated by tests in the dark. Although the photocatalytic activity is reduced by
[4]
the accumulation of reaction products, it is usually restored by washing with water. The elution test
provided here gives information about the ease of regeneration and material balance of the pollutants.
6 Apparatus
6.1 Test equipment
The test equipment enables a photocatalytic material to be examined for its pollutant-removal capability
by supplying the test gas continuously, while providing photoirradiation to activate the photocatalyst.
It consists of a test gas supply, a photoreactor, a light source, and pollutant measurement equipment.
Since low concentrations of pollutants are to be tested, the system shall be constructed with materials
of low adsorption and resistant to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, for example, acrylic resin, stainless steel,
glass and fluorocarbon polymers. An example of a test system is shown in Figure 1.
6.2 Test gas supply
The test gas supply provides air polluted with the model contaminant at a predetermined concentration,
temperature and humidity, and supplies it continuously to the photoreactor. It consists of flow
regulators, a humidifier, gas mixers, etc. The flow rate of each gas should be within 5 % of the designated
value, which is easily attained by using thermal mass-flow controllers, with the knowledge of calibrated
gas flow rate and temperature in accordance with ISO 6
