Photochemical reactor and irradiation process

摘要

A photochemical reactor and processes for irradiation of fluid reactants for production of products by radiation catalysis are provided. The reactor is particularly adapted for radiation catalysis of fluids which are substantially opaque to radiation and hence must be mixed thoroughly during irradiation for satisfactory radiation catalysis to occur. The processes are similarly particularly adapted for irradiation of substantially opaque fluids and provide thorough mixing of the fluid reactants.
