Photochemical reactor, method and system with total reflection properties

Abstract

The application provides a photochemical reactor, method and system with total reflection characteristics, and relates to the technical field of photochemistry.The application aligns a light source with the direction of a reaction fluid, and uses total reflection conditions to constrain light energy in a reaction system, thereby forming an orderly propagating optical waveguide structure, and fundamentally solving the problem of serious loss caused by disordered scattering of light energy, wall absorption and transmission in the prior art.Orderly and efficient use of light energy enables faster reaction rate under the same light intensity, or higher light intensity can be used under small pipe diameter, thereby greatly improving reaction efficiency and shortening reaction time.The reactor structure of the application is only a simple pipe structure, and does not need complex optical fiber coupling or nested channels, and linear amplification can be realized through simple series connection or parallel connection without obvious adverse amplification effect.Two total reflection modes can be flexibly selected to adapt to reaction systems with different refractive indexes, are widely applicable, and have simple structure and low energy consumption, and meet the requirements of green chemistry.
