Solar photocatalytic reactors slurry

Different types of solar photocatalytic reactors have been developed over time. Two main distinctions have been made (i) concentrating versus nonconcentrating reactors and (ii) slurry versus fixed catalyst reactors. These two classifications are not mutually exclusive, and other categories may also be established, for instance, a very important is the one of tubular solar photoreactors. 

Most of the reactor designs tested for the photooxidation of organic pollutants by solar radiation are Ti02 slurry reactors. The implementation of solar photocatalytic reactors has occurred concurrently with advances in thedesign of solar thermal collectors, given the important characteristics shared by these units. There are, however, specific constraints for the design of solar photocatalytic reactors.
