چکیده
A four stage semi-pilot scale RFR reactor with ceramic disks as support for TiO2 modified 9 with silver particles was developed for the removal of organic pollutants. The design presented in 10 this article is an adaptation of the rotating biological reactors (RBR) and its coupling with the 11 modified catalyst provides additional advantages to designs where a catalyst in suspension is used. 12 The optimal parameter of rotation was 54 rpm and the submerged surface of the disks offer a total 13 contact area of 387 M2. The modified solid showed a decrease in the value of its bandgap compared 14 to commercial titanium. The system has a semi-automatic operation with a maximum reaction time 15 of 50 h. Photo-activity tests show high conversion rates at low concentrations. The results conform 16 to the Langmuir heterogeneous catalysis model. 17

متن کاملA Photocatalytic Rotating Disc Reactor with TiO₂ Nanowire Arrays Deposited for Industrial Wastewater Treatment.
A photocatalytic rotating disc reactor (PRD-reactor) with TiO₂ nanowire arrays deposited on a thin Ti plate is fabricated and tested for industrial wastewater treatment. Results indicate that the PRD-reactor shows excellent decolorization capability when tested with methyl orange (>97.5%). Advanced oxidation processes (AOP), including photocatalytic oxidation and photolytic reaction, occurred d...
متن کاملDestruction of volatile organic compounds by the optimal multivariable control of a catalytic reverse flow reactor
"Destruction of volatile organic compounds by the optimal multivariable control of a catalytic reverse flow reactor", Summary This paper aims to compare 2 optimal control laws for a catalytic reverse flow reactor (RFR), which topic has not often been tackled. The RFR aims to destruct volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are noxious products and are the source of a lot of problems: pollution...
متن کاملComparison of reverse flow and counter-current reactors in the case of selective catalytic reduction of NOx
The paper is focused on the comparison of the reverse flow reactor (RFR) and of the counter-current reactor (CCR) operation, focusing the attention on the interaction between transport phenomena and chemical reactions, as well as on the analysis of the dynamic behavior. A heterogeneous mathematical model was used in order to investigate the performance of both reactor configurations. The role o...
متن کاملAn experimental investigation and modelling of fluid flow in solar photocatalytic reactor for contaminated water treatment
Different types of solar photocatalytic reactors exists in the literature for water treatment, Thin-film fixed-bed reactor (TFFBR) is one of them which is used in this study because of its high surface area to volume ratio for water treatment. TFFBR is an inclined plate coated with P25 TiO2 DEGUSSA over which contaminated water flows during treatment. The TFFBR also contains a pump, by which th...
