The absorption of light energy in flat fluidized photoreactors
1990
Abstract A flat fluidized bed with transparent walls is an ideal reactor for gas-solid photocatalytic or photoassisted reactions. This paper presents the relati
The measurement of light transmission through an irradiated fluidised bed
1983
Abstract The transmission of light through an irradiated fluidised bed with vertical flat walls containing catalytic particles has been experimentally studied. The amount of light transmitted through the reactor was measured at different levels by a photocell. The experimental variables studied included: (i) gas flow rate, varying from 2 to more than 10 times that required for minimum fluidisation; (ii) mean particle size, ranging from 0.138 to 0.275 mm; and (iii) internal bed thickness from 2.1 to 4.9 mm. The effect of the reflectance of the particles was also examined. Results show that the amount of light transmitted through a flat fluidised bed is low. The average transmitted light has …
Modelling of light transmittance and reflectance in flat fluidized photoreactors
1992
In recent years several photon induced chemical reactions involving the use of a solid catalyst have been studied. Flat fluidized beds have proved to be promising devices for carrying out these photocatalytic reactions. There is therefore a need for the modelling of light interactions within such kinds of photoreactors. In this paper, a phenomenological model is proposed for simulating the light transmission and reflection in flat fluidized gas-solid photoreactors. A detailed description of the model is presented. The model predictions were compared with experimental data and a satisfactory agreement was found. Correlations were also suggested for the estimation of model parameters. Depuis …
