Integrated photochemical flow reactor with led light source

Abstract

The invention provides a photoreactor assembly (1000) comprising a photochemical reactor (200) and a light source arrangement (700); wherein the light source arrangement (700) comprises (i) a plurality of light sources (10) configured to generate light source radiation (11) selected from one or more of UV radiation, visible radiation, and IR radiation, and (ii) a support arrangement (710) for the one or more light sources (10); wherein the photochemical reactor (200) comprises a first region (210) comprising a flow reactor system (215) configured to host a fluid (5) to be treated with the light source radiation (11), and a second region (220) comprising a fluid channel system (225), which is not in fluid contact with the flow reactor system (215), and which is configured for temperature control of one or more of the photochemical reactor (200) and the light sources (10); wherein the first region (210) and the second region (220) are configured in thermal contact with each other or form a (monolithic) body; wherein the photochemical reactor (200) comprises a light transmissive material (211) that is transmissive for the light source radiation (11); wherein the support arrangement (710) is configured in thermal contact with the second region (220); wherein one or more of the second region (220) and the support arrangement (710) provide light source cavities (1050) for hosting at least part of the light sources (10); wherein the plurality of light sources (10) are configured to irradiate at least part of the flow reactor system (215) via the light transmissive material (211); and wherein the light sources (10) are in thermal contact with the second region (220) via the support arrangement (710).
