Inspired by sunflowers, a bionic sunflower based on photo-responsive smart hydrogel was used as photocatalytic reactor and always exhibited relatively stable high H2O2 generation rate at any random angle of irradiation.

The photocatalytic oxidation of cyanide by titanium dioxide (TiO2) supported on activated carbon (AC) was evaluated in a continuous flow UV photo-reactor. photo-reactor made glass and covered with wood box to isolate the fluid external conditions. TiO2-AC synthesized impregnation TiO2 granular AC composites characterized inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), Scanni...

A 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole-based photosensitiser has been successfully incorporated into a commercially available 3D printing resin and utilised to fabricate inherently photocatalytic flow reactor components. The freedom of design provided by additive manufacturing enabled the production photoactive monolith structures with intricate architectures, imparting functionality for heterogeneous photoc...

Comparative study of the of azo Dyes (as a class important organic pollutants photodegradation process) in aqueous solution employing H2 O2 /UV and K2 S2 O8 /UV systems in a photochemical reactor were investigated. Lead zirconate titanate [Pb (Zr0.58Ti0.42) O3 ] (PZT) nanocatalyst was synthesized via the sol-gel method. Then, photocatalytic properties of dopant type on PZT were determined in a ...

Abstract Photocatalysis is an advanced oxidation process, which has been gaining attention as a sustainable technology for tackling pollution. Optimum design, fabrication and scaling up of novel photocatalytic reactors are faced with problems such cost numerous experimental trials optimisation. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD), computer simulation technique can ease the process reactors. The ...
