The photocatalytic reactor configuration consists of a
horizontal stainless steel vessel with an inner diameter
and height of the vessel 140 and 50 mm, respectively.
A top plate cover of the vessel was made of Pyrex and
equipped with a gas bubbler and sampling port. The
reactor vessel was irradiated, from top of the reactor,
by 6 Toki tubular black light UV lamps (@ 10 W),
which had total intensity of 2450 lW/cm2 in the surface
of the catalyst slurry. The reactor was enclosed by an
aluminum foil reflector to optimize UV irradiation and
to prevent interference from outside light. The reaction
temperature was controlled with hot plate magnetic stirrer
and fan cooler.
