Abstract
A sanitizing photocatalytic reactor suitable for air liquid or liquid fluids includes a reaction region containing a photocatalyst selected from nanotechnological materials of natural light photocatalyst type, which is supported on an inert support or mixed with a plastic material, and an illumination region having white color LED lights, the reaction region further having one or more channels through which the fluids to be sanitized flow.
Claims23
A sanitizing photocatalytic reactor suitable for gaseous or liquid fluids, comprising:
- a reaction region containing a photocatalyst that is a photocatalyst material activated with sunlight, the photocatalyst being distributed on one or more supports made of an inert material or mixed with a matrix made from a plastic material;
- and
- an illumination source oriented so as to emit light radiation beams incident on said photocatalyst distributed on said support, the illumination source being constituted by one or more white color LED lights,
- wherein said reaction region comprises one or more channels through which said fluids to be sanitized flow, said one or more channels being delimited and/or containing said one or more supports for the photocatalyst.
A sanitizing photocatalytic reactor suitable for air liquid or liquid fluids, comprising:
- a reaction region containing a plurality of sheets of an inert support, the sheets being placed parallel to one another and equally spaced at a minimum distance from one another of 7.5 mm, thus forming several substantially uniform channels,
- said sheets being covered by a layer of photocatalytic material structured to be activated by solar light radiation and/or by a light radiation generated by a lighting lamp emitting a white color light;
- and
- a supporting region of an illumination source with LED lights emitting a white color light radiation with an opening and a propagation direction of a beam incident against walls of said sheets so as to illuminate said sheets,
- said illumination source being constituted by at least one LED lamp for each channel laterally delimited by two adjacent sheets, said at least one LED lamp being distributed along the illumination source in such a position so as to coincide with a corresponding channel.
