| A photocatalytic reactor system was developed which used titanium dioxide immobilized on acrylic, and light emitting diodes as the illumination source. A series of tests were performed to determine the optimum optical spectrum and illumination intensity. These tests provided the necessary information to design and optimize this reactor system. The final design is based on a modified tubular geometry which provides the optimal balance between illuminated surface area and the illumination intensity. This system for drinking water treatment produced sufficient oxidative species to inactivate Escherichia coli cells within the reactor water. |
