      1.3.5 Design Challenges of Photocatalytic Reactors

      Further, the design of any reactor is dependent upon the rate limited step in the reaction mechanism. Separation of the catalyst from reaction mixture is also a quite challenging task but fluidized bed and immobilized catalysts are found to be two possible solutions for resolving separation issues. On a small scale, a laboratory set up has been installed to carry out research on slurry reactors which can be an option to raise the performance of system than immobilized catalytic reaction system. Rather, the researchers are working to minimize water and air pollution problems occurring during process but large scale applications on optimization of reaction systems are still absent.

      For continuous flow in organic synthesis, there are some types of reactors for multicomponent-multiphase reactions such as single channel reactor, membrane micro reactor, and falling film micro reactor. In some cases, a photocatalytic pervaporation reactor has been designed for enhancing the yield of vanillin as double. On the other hand, Alfano et al. [18] complied valuable information about reactor design for the photocatalytic degradation of contaminants present in wastewater streams via heterogeneous photocatalysis mechanism.

      Over oxidation of the reactant is also an important lack in photocatalysis which is responsible of lowering down the selectivity even high conversion. It is necessary to attain high selectivity and high conversion in such conditions but this issue can be resolved by involvement of flow reactors as batch reactor are not capable for achieving desired output. Therefore, a research should be done in the direction of flow reactors to gain complete conversion or other necessary products because continuous output is achieved all time in flow reactors.

      For designing reactors for photocatalysis, the selection of light source (UV, visible, natural solar, etc.) is important consideration to industries for the maximization of desired products. Using mercury or xenon lights are conventional in nature in photocatalysis but their efficiency is very low. For reactions in microfluidics reactors, light emitting diode is used in photocatalysis which is quite popular nowadays because it minimizes heat loss and optimizes energy. Quartz and glass materials are very common in making photocatalytic reactor. Quartz utilizes both UV and visible
