Pilot scale reactor schematic representation

Figures 22a, b provides a schematic representation of the pilot scale reactor. Essentially it is a rectangular parallelepiped limited by two parallel windows made of borosilicate glass and operated as a slurry reactor inside the loop of a batch recycling system. Irradiation of one of the reactor faces is obtained using two tubular lamps that were placed along the focal axis of two parabolic reflectors made of specularly finished aluminum (Brandi et al., 1996, 1999, 2002). The specific information concerning the experimental device is presented in Table 9, and more details can be found in Satuf et al. (2007b).

Proposed reactor (pilot plant scale). Figures 6.1 and 6.3 (the reactor substituted by the annular tube of Figure 6.1) provide a schematic representation of the employed reacting system. More details can be found in Table 6.1.
