LED-based photocatalytic reactor design

As a promising technology, photocatalysis shows its unique advantages and potential in many disciplines, from hydrogen production, indoor and outdoor air purification, remediation of non-biodegradable molecular in the factory, to the organic synthesis with high selectivity. In recent years, photocatalytic semiconductor process has shown a high potential for the contaminated air remediation. Compared with conventional technology, photocatalysis in pollutant degradation shows advantages as a low-cost, environmentally friendly and sustainable treatment technology to align with the ‘zero’ waste scheme. The objective of this thesis was to perform the methodology in the LED-based photocatalytic reactor optimization by minimizing the reactor cost. The methodology is provided to be reliable and several parameters are checked based on the impact that each parameter has on the reactor optimization.SPET - Energy TechnologyProcess and EnergyMechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineerin
