Progression of Photocatalytic reactors and it’s comparison: A Review

This article reviews about all types of photocatalytic reactors and compares them with calculated five benchmarks: Apparent reaction rate constant (k), Space time yield (STY), Photocatalytic space time yield (PSTY), Specific removal rate (SRR), Electrical energy consumption (EEC). It is interpreted that in designing a photocatalytic reactor, four important aspects are to be considered: Throughput, Performance, Energy efficiency, Cost. This review article calculates the above said 5 benchmarks for 24 reactor designs and highlights the important parameters to build an effective photocatalytic reactor.Graphical abstract
