Photocatalysis in a novel semiconducting optical fiber monolithic reactor for wastewater treatment
The development of photocatalytic reactors is essential for the successful exploitation of heterogeneous photocatalysis on semiconductor particles, which has been shown to be an effective means of removing organic pollutants from wastewater streams. In this dissertation, a novel photocatalytic …

Enhanced Mineralization of Phenol and other Hydroxylated Compounds in a Photocatalytic Process assisted with Ferric Ions
… spread problem of contaminated wastestreams. Photocatalytic reactions take place at a slow rate nonetheless. Efforts have focused on the improvement of photocatalytic reactors design and on the enhancement of the photocatalyst activity through various doping techniques. There have been some …

Development of a novel photocatalytic reactor for the treatment of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
… alternative. Investigation carried out using the photocatalytic remediation method involved the design and construction of a photocatalytic reactor. Preliminary work was first carried out in a constructed batch suspended photocatalytic reactor to investigate the photodegradation of naphthalene, …

Design, construction and commissioning of an automated optical fibre catalyst coating process for use in photocatalytic reactor systems
… reaction in the presence of a catalyst. Photocatalytic reactors have not yet been commercialised due to suboptimal catalyst and reactor designs. The typically low catalyst activity has to be countered by efficiently loading a large amount of catalyst in the reactor. This results in a …

In-situ photocatalytic remediation of organic contaminants in groundwater
This research is about the development of a photocatalytic reactor design, Honeycomb, for in-situ groundwater remediation. Photocatalysis, typically a pseudo first order advanced oxidation process, is initiated via the illumination of UVA light on the catalyst, i.e. titanium dioxide (TiO2). In the …

Photocatalytic Reactor using TiO2 Thin Film on Quartz Tubes
… a UV light source, the constraints for these reactors are the need for the removal of TiO2 particles at the outlet stream in a slurry reactor and poor environment for the efficient use of TiO2 film using UV light, as the UV light penetration depth in water is about an inch.</p> <p>Taking all …
