Photon Utilization Ratio of Microstructured Photoreactors

• Applicant: Professor Dr. Dirk Ziegenbalg
• Subject Area: Technical Chemistry
• Term: from 2015 to 2019
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 281509436

The aim of the project is the investigation of microstructured photoreactors in terms of reaction engineering. Therefore not and homogeneous catalyzed photoreactions will be used to characterize the radiation field. Primary objective will be the development of general design rules providing a tool for choosing or developing efficient photoreactor systems. In this context design rules shall be developed both for laboratory and technical scale reactors. With this a systematic optimization approach will be developed to support the currently primarily used empiric optimization. Furthermore the potential of microreactortechnology for large scale use shall be evaluated.
