Abstract
An annular flow photoreactor for the direct photolysis of 2,4-dichloro phenoxyacetic acid has been developed, mathematically modeled and expe rimentally verified in a bench scale apparatus. The model employs a ve ry simple kinetic equation that was previously obtained in a well stir red tank, batch laboratory reactor. Reasonably good agreement has been obtained between model predictions and experimental results. The obse rved errors are mainly due to the fact that the kinetics of this very complex reaction have been modeled in terms of just one single concent ration. (C) 1997 IAWQ.
