Model No:Photochemical reactor
The photochemical reactor is used to carry out a photochemical reaction, water split- ting, and photochlorination reaction. The reaction takes place in the presence of a photon and catalyst. Hence it is called a photocatalysis reaction or photochemical reaction. The reactor is also known as the photocatalytic reactor. The photochemical reactor's Classic Model setup includes triple jacketed immersion well, a Xenon lamp or medium and high-pressure mercury lamp (as per requirement), lamp power supply, safety cabinet, and a magnetic stirrer.
Triple Jacked Reactor with Immersion Well
Double-Jacketed immersion well in Quartz material permits water cooling of lamps and filtering or excitation radiation. It is specially manufactured by GE Quartz, where maximum radiation transmission is possible. Their outermost jacket is made of a Bo- rosilicate glass, where the required solution has been stirred.
Types of Lamps for Photoreactions
Low-Pressure Mercury Lamps emit over 90% of their energy at 254 nm providing a valuable source of ultraviolet radiation for photoreactions.
Medium-pressure mercury lamps have much greater arcs and radiate peaks predominantly at 254nm, 356nm, and 365nm and cover the spectrum range of 200nm – 400nm emits in a UV range. Since it mainly emits UV range, it is also known as UV Lamp.The choice of lamp power and Lamp is determined by the nature of the photoreaction and volume of the reactant solution.
The high-pressure mercury lamp has the spectrum range from 360nm to 800nm and predominantly gives peaks at 520nm, which emits visible light range. Since it mainly emits visible light range, it is also known as a Visible Lamp.
The Xenon (Xe) arc lamp is designed and developed to emit the high luminescence light in bright white colour. Since it contains a highly pure ionized Xe gas, hence it is called a Xenon lamp. It is also known as a gas discharge lamp. The xenon arc lamp has two significant categories that differentiate with variation in the composition. In one case, the tube was filled with only Xe gas and the other with a small portion of mercury. The other one is known as a xenon-mercury lamp. Currently, our reactor has been equipped with Short Arc Xenon Lamp.
