Abstract

This study has been numerically conducted to investigate the removal efficiency of Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) in photocatalytic micro-reactor. This study has placed emphasis on the improvements of the working condition of photocatalytic micro-reactor. The micro-reactor consists of 19 microchannels with a rectangular cross-section. For the validation of the current numerical study, a computation has been carried out to simulate an existing experimental study on the cylindrical reactor, which has shown a good agreement. The degradation characteristics with different inlet concentrations and velocities have been obtained. The current results can be used for the design of advanced photocatalytic micro-reactor.
