Design of two types of fluidized photo reactors and their photo-catalytic performances for degradation of methyl orange

Photocatalytic degradation of methyl red by TiO2: Comparison of the efficiency of immobilized nanoparticles versus conventional suspended catalyst

“…The trend of Fig. 3 is similar to that reported for reactors having a capacity similar to that used in this study [26][27][28]. This result is, however, divergent from that found for photocatalytic oxidation of organic pollutants in smaller reactors where k increases at higher TiO 2 loadings before leveling-off at above 1 g/L [29][30][31].…”

Treatment options for wastewater effluents from pharmaceutical companies

“…Its photocatalytic activity was 3.8 times higher than a configuration of two TiO 2 slides (which served as an approximation of a TFFBR) (Cernigoj et al, 2007). Other reactors with increased performance include the optical fiber reactor (Danion et al, 2004), corrugated plate reactor (Zhang et al, 2004), fountain reactor with a parabolic profile (Puma et al, 2001), Taylor vortex reactor (Dutta and Ray, 2004), fluidised photo reactors (Lee et al, 2003), Spinning disc reactor (Yatmaz et al, 2005) and labyrinth flow photoreactor with immobilised TiO 2 bed (Mozia et al, 2005). Most of the work to date on photoreactors has been on a laboratory scale, with only a limited number of large-scale applications of photocatalysis to wastewater treatment.…”

Enhanced Hydrogen Production from Methanol/Water Photo-Splitting in TiO2Including Pd Component

“…Pd incorporated TiO2 (Pd-TiO2) with various molar fractions of palladium were prepared using a common hydrothermal method: 14 To prepare the sol mixture, titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP, 99.95%, Junsei Chemical, Tokyo, Japan) and palladium nitrate (Pd(NO3)2, 99.9%, Junsei Chemical, Tokyo, Japan) were used as the titanium and palladium precursors, respectively. Palladium nitrate (0.01, 0.05, 0.1, and 0.5 mol%) were dissolved in distilled water.…”
