description

Photochemical reactors are examined from the point of view of the main problems connected to their modelling. By distinguishing the diverse meanings of kinetic models and the varied objectives in establishing models, a particular attention is devoted to the following aspects of homogeneous photoreactors: steady state condition, effect of stirring and mixing, effect of the shape of the reactor and of the position of the light source, light emission models, scale up. For the heterogeneous systems only general considerations on kinetic models in heterogeneous photocatalysis and on the problems related to the use of fluidized bed photoreactors are done.
