PG - 1279-1288 LID - 10.1021/acs.oprd.2c00012 [doi] AB - Many chemical reactions contain heterogeneous reagents, products, byproducts, or catalysts, making their transposition from batch to continuous-flow processing challenging. Herein, we report the use of a photochemical rotor-stator spinning disk reactor (pRS-SDR) that can handle and scale solid-containing photochemical reaction conditions in flow. Its ability to handle slurries was showcased for the TiO(2)-mediated aerobic photodegradation of aqueous methylene blue. The use of a fast rotating disk imposes high shear forces on the multiphase reaction mixture, ensuring its homogenization, increasing the mass transfer, and improving the irradiation profile of the reaction mixture. The pRS-SDR performance was also compared to other lab-scale reactors in terms of water treated per reactor volume and light power input. CI - (c) 2022 The Authors.
