System includes a reactor setup connected to a light source via optical fiber, allowing precise control over the light exposure necessary for these reactions.
Additionally, it features a frame for mounting the components, a system of valves to regulate gas flow, and options for light insulation and radiant heat removal.
It can conduct photocatalytic reactions in suspension or on films, offering flexibility for various experimental setups.
The light source can be immersed within the reactor, allowing for more controlled and effective reactions. Moreover, the kit enables chemical and electrochemical reactions in a controlled gas atmosphere, with the capability to sample both liquids and gases.
The design also allows for the integration of a cooling block with external coolant circulation, ensuring that the system remains at optimal temperatures during experiments.
This fiber optic kit is particularly useful in chemical engineering for conducting photocatalytic reactions illuminated by optical fiber.
Currently at the implementation stage, it represents a significant advancement in the field, combining precision, versatility, and efficiency.
