What is Experimental and CFD analysis of photocatalytic gas phase vinyl chloride (VC) oxidation about?
Photocatalytic destruction of gas phase vinyl chloride (VC) was examined using experimental and computational uid dynamics (CFD) approaches. Experimental work involved using a di erential photoreactor for determining kinetics of oxidation and an annular ow photoreactor for overall removal investigations as well as comparison with CFD models. The kinetic data obtained from di erential photoreactor were used to model and predict the performance of the annular photoreactor using CFD. The photocatalytic oxidation of VC followed ÿrst order kinetics for inlet concentrations up to about 0:28 g m -3 and CFD was able to predict the removal of VC in the system. Both experimental and CFD modeling showed the removal of VC in the system increased with increasing the VC loading rate. CFD analysis of the photoreactor also provided insight into the detailed concentration gradient of VC within the reactor. The modeling results indicated signiÿcant radial VC concentration gradient and non-uniform ow distributions in the annular photoreactor. This non-uniform ow distribution, in turn, resulted in short circuiting of the VC contaminated gas and may have resulted in less than optimum removal e ciency f
