Abstract
In accordance with the invention there is provided a photoreactor (10) having LEDs indicated by blocks for the visible light LED's (12), triangles for the IR LED's (14), and circles for the UV LED's (16), on the inner perimeter walls (18) of the casing (20) which forms the reactor, and which is for use in batch advanced oxidation processes experiments. The reactor consists of a reflective box type metal casing (20) with the LEDs fixed on four inner sides (18) of the casing (20) perimeter and directed inwardly into the casing (20). Inside the casing (20) is a reaction vessel (22) placed atop a magnetic stirrer (24) and having a conductivity probe (26) and a pH probe (28) protruding into the reaction vessel (22).
