Process Intensification in Photocatalytic Decomposition of Formic Acid over a TiO2 Catalyst by Forced Periodic Modulation of Concentration, Temperature, Flowrate and Light Intensity

Abstract: The effect of forced periodic modulation of several input parameters on the rate of photocatalytic decomposition of formic acid over a TiO2 thin film catalyst has been investigated in a continuously stirred tank reactor. The kinetic model was adopted based on the literature and it includes acid adsorption, desorption steps, the formation of photocatalytic active sites and decomposition of the adsorbed species over the active titania sites. A reactor model was developed that describes mass balances of reactive … Show more

“…Inducing periodic fast modulations in the catalyst temperature can induce metastable states for the catalysts with enhanced performances. Forced periodic temperature modulations have been shown to enhance the conversion of formic acid over a TiO2 thin film catalyst [51]. In general, however, studies on how to exploit this possibility are missing.…”

“…The photocatalytic decomposition of FA over TiO2 thin film catalyst in a CSTR was investigated by Ellwood et al [137]. A non-stationary dynamic model was proposed including the FA adsorption, the desorption steps, the formation of catalytic active sites and the decomposition of the adsorbed species over the catalyst.…”
