Deliverable Report D2.4 Design of photoreactor ...

A tubular photoreactor is applied for the removal of CECs from NF concentrate of secondary urban wastewater effluent. The photoreactor allows the integration of different mechanisms for generating reactive oxygen species in a single unit operated in continuous flow mode. In this report, the construction details, materials, and parts of the tubular photoreactor prototype are shown and addressed. After having verified the effectiveness of the photoreactor on a laboratory scale through several studies carried out, a pilot-scale photoreactor was developed to be integrated into the prototype built and installed at the Universidad Castilla La-Mancha, in Ciudad Real, Spain. This system encompasses the membrane filtration unit, disinfection, advanced oxidation and electrochemical production of oxidants.
