Modelling Heavymetal Photocatalysis

Modelling rate of heavymetal purification from water by photocatalysis.

The objective of this project was to determine the rate of an experimentally recorded reaction of Titanium-catalysed heavy-metal purification from water. The reaction comprised of coupled rate equations, which were modelled in MATLAB. The model was sucessefully able to replicate the experimental data. This project also served to fulfill my undergraduate degree requirements. You may find a short report here.
