Our first commercialization product from our research group (project funded by IPC-PAS, immense thanks!!!). A multi-purpose photoreactor is the result of many years of experience in working with this type of reaction system. If you want to use light (and possibly with a catalyst) to produce hydrogen or necessary organic chemicals or just clean up water, please use this photoreactor.
A batch photoreactor for conducting chemical reactions in a controlled gas atmosphere above the liquid phase in which the tip of the optical fiber supplying light energy from the LED illuminator is immersed, with the possibility of using catalysts on solid substrates. In short, it is a photoreactor with the optical fiber.
The photoreactor was created as an extension of the gas flow apparatus with the function of bringing light into the interior of the reactor with the liquid reaction mixture.
The solution enables conducting test reactions in the liquid phase, under strictly defined conditions, i.e. without external light, with measured light energy delivered by means of an optical fiber and a controlled gas atmosphere above the liquid. The set facilitates the development of e.g. hydrogen technology by providing a test environment for photocatalyzed hydrogen generation.
The solution is distinguished by the ability to measure the energy supplied to a chemical reaction and the ability to conduct photocatalytic reactions on layers on a solid substrate.
After obtaining the patent application, the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IPC-PAS) financially supported the development of the photoreactor, enabling the creation of a commercial product.
Today’s environmental challenges and growing demand for renewable energy sources are making heterogeneous photocatalysis increasingly important in science and industry. These processes, which use semiconductors to initiate chemical reactions with the action of photons (light), are promising technologies in a wide range of fields — from water and air purification to the production of alternative fuels (e.g., hydrogen as a clean fuel).
1. Photocatalytic water purification.
2. Sustainability — photocatalysis is an environmentally friendly process, as it does not require additional reactants (only light) and the use of common metals on earth (e.g., Zn, Ti, Fe) to synthesize these photocatalysts.
