Need to be easily collected. Therefore, the photocatalyst particles are generally used in a state of being carried or coated on a ceramic or metal support such as carrier particles having a high surface area or a structure having a honeycomb structure or a three-dimensional network structure. With such a photocatalyst body in which photocatalyst particles are carried on a support, scattering and outflow can be reduced, and separation / recovery can be facilitated. However, in the above-mentioned photocatalyst, the photocatalyst particles are difficult to be irradiated with light, so that the photocatalyst function of the photocatalyst particles is hard to be expressed, and a satisfactory photocatalyst function cannot be obtained. Moreover, there is a problem that the photocatalyst particles are separated from the support during the photocatalytic reaction.

The present invention relates to the surface of polymer particles and / or
Or a photocatalyst body containing photocatalyst particles in the vicinity of its surface, which can reduce the scattering and outflow of photocatalyst particles from the reaction device during the photocatalytic reaction, and from the reaction device after the end of the photocatalytic reaction. The separation / collection of photocatalyst particles can be facilitated. Moreover, since it has an excellent photocatalytic function, organic halogen compounds, malodorous gas, oil, bacteria,
Since it is possible to quickly and efficiently remove substances that may adversely affect the human body or living environment, such as fungi and algae, and substances that have the potential to do so, not only for industrial use but also for general household use, deodorant, It is extremely useful as a sterilizer. The method of the present invention is a method of polymerizing a monomer in the presence of photocatalyst particles or a method of performing a mechanochemical reaction between polymer particles and photocatalyst particles, and is useful in that the photocatalyst of the present invention can be obtained simply and efficiently. That's the method. Furthermore, the method for removing harmful substances of the present invention is a method of irradiating the photocatalyst of the present invention with light having a wavelength having an energy equal to or higher than the band gap, and it is possible to remove harmful substances quickly and efficiently. This is a useful method.
