Abstract: A system for the treatment of microorganisms includes: a textile web having optical fibers in warp and/or weft woven with binding threads in warp and/or weft, each of the optical fibers having invasive alterations along the fiber and allowing the emission of light propagating in the fiber at these alterations; a light source arranged opposite one or both free ends of the optical fibers. The textile web includes metallic warp and/or weft threads woven with the binding threads, the metallic threads being based on a metal having a negative effect on the growth of microorganisms. The light source generates a light beam having at least one wavelength in the visible or ultraviolet spectrum.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for depositing metal particles on a textile support, which comprises: placing at least one textile sheet (1) made of side-emitting optical fibers (2) in contact with a solution containing at least one ionic precursor of a metal to be deposited, the textile sheet (1) being formed from optical fibers (2) woven in warp and/or weft with binding threads in warp and/or weft, each of the optical fibers (2) having invasive alterations (5) along the fiber and allowing the emission of light propagating in the fiber at these alterations (5), the textile sheet (1) being coated on all or part of the surfaces thereof with a layer of semiconductor particles (4) having photocatalytic properties, the textile sheet (1) and the solution being contained in a space of a reactor (9), the space being free of oxygen; illuminating the textile sheet (1) by at least one light source (7) connected to all or part of the free ends (6) of the optical fibers (2), the light source generating light radiati

Abstract: The invention relates to a panel (100, 200, 300, 400) for a photobioreactor comprising at least: two plates assembled together, at least one of which is transparent and between which a lighting device is inserted; at least two openings allowing the passage of a fluid from a first face to a second face of the panel (100, 200, 300, 400) and characterized in that said luminous device is a fabric (101, 201, 202, 301, 401) including at least one optical fiber (2) capable of diffusing the light through said at least one transparent plate.

Abstract: Illuminating glass complex characterized in that it comprises a light source consisting of a textile web containing optical fibres arranged in a warp and/or a weft associated with binding yarns in a warp and weft, said optical fibres being capable of emitting light laterally.

Abstract: Fabric web comprising warp and/or weft optical fibres woven with warp and weft binding yarns, in which said optical fibres can emit light sideways characterised in that the surface of the binding yarns is provided with photocatalytic particles and in that said optical fibres include invasive alterations, whereby the free ends of said optical fibres can be positioned facing a light source in order to transmit light and emit light sideways at the aforementioned alterations so as to activate the photocatalytic particles.

Abstract: An illuminating complex includes a light source having a textile web incorporating optical fibres in the warp and/or weft directions. The fibres are associated with binding yarns, and the optical fibres are capable of emitting light laterally. The textile web is attached to a rigid or semi-rigid backing, and a bonding intermediate allows the textile web to be at least partly attached in an irreversible manner to a rigid backing.
