Abstract: The present invention is directed to a granulate having photocatalytic activity, comprising particles of an inorganic particulate material coated with a photocatalytically active compound for introducing photocatalytic activity into or on building materials. The invention is further related to the manufacture of such a granulate and its use into or on building materials such as cement, concrete, gypsum and/or limestone and water-based coatings or paints for reducing an accumulation and growth of microorganisms and environmental polluting substances on these materials and thus reducing the tendency of fouling, while the brilliance of the color is maintained and the quality of the air is improved.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of iron oxide particles coated with titanium dioxide, and in particular to their use for decomposing air pollutants photocatalytically. The invention is further directed to the use of iron oxide particles being at least partially coated with titanium dioxide, for photocatalytically decomposing air pollutants selected from nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOC), that come into contact with said particles.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a process for the manufacture of iron oxide particles coated with crystalline titanium dioxide, wherein the process comprises the steps of adding an aqueous solution of at least one titanyl salt to an iron oxide dispersion to form a reaction mixture, precipitating titanium dioxide on said iron oxide particles by adding an alkali, wherein the titanium dioxide is at least partially in a crystalline form, and isolating the resulting titanium dioxide-containing iron oxide particles from the reaction mixture. The invention is further related to iron oxide particles comprising precipitated crystalline titanium dioxide and the use of the resulting photocatalytically active material.
