Photo CREC Water-I Reactor

The Photo-CREC-Water I reactor was originally proposed by de Lasa and Valladares (1997), and Valladares (1995). Modifications were introduced to the original design as reported in Table 2.5 by Serrano and de Lasa (1997). 

Basket reactor Internal radius, external radius, height, 1.9,4.05, 42.0 cm 

SeiTano and de Lasa (1997) established strong Ti02 particle attachment on the fiberglass mesh, when translucid water was obtained after the first washing and in all subsequent experiments. This confirms that the Photo-CREC-Water I reactors, using immobilized Ti02 anchored on fiberglass mesh, do not require particle recovery. 

Minimization of Mass Transfer Controls To study the eventual effect of mass transfer on the performance of the Photo-CREC-Water I, several experiments were conducted wherein the water flow circulation rate varied from 150 to 1700 mL min and 

Residence Time Distribution Photo CREC Water-1 Flow patterns in photo-catalytic reactors are of critical importance since they can affect the applicability of the proposed Photo-CREC-Water I model. In order to assess the deviation of the flow regime from the ideal plug flow, several experiments were developed under the following conditions
