Popis: The originality of the present photocatalytic system consists in using luminous textiles for a double purpose: (i) supporting TiO2 photocatalysts and (ii) conveying UV-light all along the optical fibers and distributing it to the TiO2 particles deposited. Photocatalytic luminous textiles were tested in terms of stability and their photocatalytic activities were determined in the purification of water containing either formic acid or phenol. Luminous textiles were coated with TiO2 sols and or suspensions. The location of TiO2 was analysed by ESEM and EDX analysis and was shown to be uniform over the surface of optical fiber textiles, except for TiO2 powder coating, exhibiting titania present as clusters. A good adhesion and stability of the photocatalyst layer were found. The photocatalytic performances of the different TiO2 coatings, tested in the degradation of two model pollutants (formic acid and phenol), in a batch reactor indicated an optimum mass of TiO2 of about 2 mg/cm2. Degradation tests highlighted the higher activity of TiO2 powder coating in comparison with others coating tested, whatever the catalyst mass or pollutant tested. Photonic yields depend on the absorption properties of the coating. They range from 23 to 60% for formic acid degradation and from 6 to 8% for that of phenol, proving the efficiency of such luminous textile coating by TiO2. The performances observed indicate that luminous textiles are good candidates for supporting titania photocatalysts, thus avoiding tedious final filtrations when using suspensions
