Sabry A. Abdel-Mottaleb Montmorillonite-TiO2 composites containing various transition metal ions (silver, copper, or nickel) were prepared, and their photocatalytic efficiencies were tested in the degradation of ethanol vapor at 70% relative humidity. Two light sources, UV-rich (λ = 254 nm) and visible (λ = 435 nm), were used. The kinetics of degradation was monitored by gas chromatography. It was es- tablished that, in the case of each catalyst, ethanol degradation was more efficient in UV-C (λ = 254 nm) than in visible light, furthermore, these samples containing silver or copper ions were in each case about twice more efficient th
