Photocatalytic Degradation Companion Tool

A companion tool for analysis of photocatalytic degradations studies in VOC-72M gas analyser or similar equipement.

Why?

Photocatalytic degradation studies output several files, from which a single value needs to be extracted and plotted. This process takes a couple of hours by hand. Photocatalytic Degradation Companion Tool automates the process to a couple of seconds.

How?

  1. Run the program
  2. Select the folder containing all the xxhxx-pic.txt files
  3. Adjust the low and high points for data search until a smooth plot is achieved (min: ~10-20, max: ~90-100)
  4. (Optional) Adjust the band A and B to compute the catalytic degradation scale (in ugr/L)
  5. Export the plotted data to a .xlsx file for further processing in Excel or related software
