Abstract:
... Solar-energy-enabled photocatalysis is promising for wastewater treatment. However, due to the changes in the solar position and variable weather conditions, providing optimized light and temperature for photocatalysis under actual weather remains to be a technical difficulty. In this study, a novel Linear fresnel photoreactor (LFP) was firstly developed for wastewater treatment. LFP could achieve ...
