Progression of Photocatalytic reactors and it’s comparison: A Review
Abstract
ABSTRACT Photocatalytic reactor design for environmental applications is a major challenging task in heterogeneous photocatalysis because all the three components involved in the process are in different phases: pollutant - fluid, catalyst – solid and light photons - massless particles. Heterogeneity of photocatalysis makes the reactor design highly inter-disciplinary involving the knowledge of chemical, mechanical and environmental engineering concepts. So far literatures have focused on optimizing process parameters for specific pollutants, but the holistic approach in designing a photocatalytic reactor has been unclear. This article reviews about all types of photocatalytic reactors and compares them with calculated five benchmarks: Apparent reaction rate constant (k), Space time yield (STY), Photocatalytic space time yield (PSTY), Specific removal rate (SRR), Electrical energy consumption (EEC). It is interpreted that in designing a photocatalytic reactor, four important aspects are to be considered: Throughput, Performance, Energy efficiency, Cost. This review article calculates the above said 5 benchmarks for 24 reactor designs and highlights the important parameters to build an effective photocatalytic reactor.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
