摘要
The solar-driven photocatalytic process, as a clean and efficient advanced oxidation process (AOP), is widely operated in wastewater treatment applications. In the present work, a solar nano photocatalytic reactor is designed, manufactured, and tested under different operating conditions. The irradiation-dependence reaction kinetics is studied in a batch operation process. A comprehensive computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model taking into account realistic solar flux distribution is developed and validated using experimental data. Finally, the reactor scaling-up analysis for higher treatment capacities is performed with the aim of the design of industrial-scale solar photocatalytic reactors. The research results indicate that when the initial dye concentration is increased from 5 to 175 mg/L, the period required to achieve 95% pollutant removal in 20 L solution and 10 mg/L photocatalyst concentration boosts up to 2.2 times. When the photocatalyst concentration in the solution is increased from 5 to 20 mg/L, the time required to achieve 95% total removal is reduced to 35.7%. For the photocatalyst concentration of 75 mg/L compared to 20 mg/L, the time required for 95% degradation increases up to 16.7%. To treat 90% of the total pollutant in a 50 mg/L dye solution with an initial volume of 5 m3 and using 20 mg/L photocatalyst concentration under 11 h operation with an average solar irradiation intensity of 750.46 W/m2, a solar reactor with a surface area of 50.45 m2 is required, while for 10 m3 wastewater sample and the same conditions and 95% pollutant removal, the collector area is obtained to be 121.36 m2. A horizontal solar reactor compared to its optimal tilt angle can reduce the treatment capacity up to 55%.
