Photocatalytic cement containing titanium dioxide is intended to

  • A.increase the compressive strength substantially
  • B.reduce the setting time to a few minutes
  • C.eliminate the need for reinforcement
  • D.break down pollutants and keep surfaces clean

Answer: D

Correct answer: break down pollutants and keep surfaces clean

Titanium dioxide is a photocatalyst: under ultraviolet light it generates radicals that oxidise nitrogen oxides and organic matter on the surface. The result is a facade that stays clean and removes some pollution from the air passing it, which is why the material has been used on prominent buildings.
