The photocatalytic reactor was designed for potential application in aquaculture settings hence naturally tainted water from a
carp rearing raceway where 2-MIB and GSM were already present
was used to evaluate the reactors performance. The selected sampling site was a 21 6 m indoor raceway (approximate depth
1.3 m) which had been in operation for carp rearing for 2.5 years
located in central Scotland. Both GSM and 2-MIB had been previously detected at this site. The water was collected 09.03.2012
and placed directly into four 30 L stainless steel pressure cans.
The experimental procedure was followed as per the laboratory
testing with spiked purified water
