Device for the continuous and / or semi-continuous, photocatalytic and / or photoelectrochemical production of hydrogen from waste water

Abstract

The invention relates to a device and a method for the continuous and / or semi-continuous, photocatalytic and / or photoelectrochemical production of hydrogen from waste water as reaction medium (1), with a flow element (2) forming the reaction space (2). In order to permit a better degree of effectiveness in both photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical hydrogen production from waste water despite simple design conditions, it is proposed that a multiport fitting (3) is provided upstream of the flow element (2) on the inlet side, via which multiport fitting both an oscillation pump (4) and a metering unit (5) for the reaction medium (1) are connected to the flow element (2), and that the oscillation pump (4) forms a conveying device for the reaction medium (1) by at least partially forming a plug flow in the flow element (2).
