Analysis of batch‐recycle reactor systems

Efficient Chemical-Free Degradation of Waterborne Micropollutants with an Immobilized Dual-Porous TiO2 Photocatalyst

“…Samples were taken from both the batch reactor and the single-pass effluent to estimate the single-pass degradation of RhB in the UV/catalyst system. The model in eq was used to compare the values: .25ex2ex X b a t c h = 1 − exp true[ prefix− ( t τ b ) X P F R true] with X batch denoting the conversion (i.e., degradation) of RhB measured from the batch and X PFR denoting that from the PFR reactor sample, t being the time passed, and τ b denoting the average residence time of species in the batch reactor (i.e., Vol batch / F ). The single-pass conversion data was used to model the degradation curves in Figure a (dashed lines) and provide a good fit with the measured batch data ( R 2 > 0.99 in all cases).…”
