    Abstract

    In the present study a new type of continuous photoreactor is developed in which the TiO2 catalyst is immobilized on the surface of quartz tubes surrounding the UV lamps and on the internal surface of the reactor walls. The study showed that an initial concentration chloroform of 7 mg/l was degraded in a period of 500 hour. The kinetics of the degradation of chloroform in the flow reactor was found to obey Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetics.

    The investigation also showed that the reactor design has a significant influence on the rate of degradation, as it was observed that the position of the coated lamp in the reactor yield different degradation rates.
