Nonlinear Modelling of Kinetic Data Obtained from Photocatalytic Mineralisation of 2,4-Dichlorophenol on a Titanium Dioxide Membrane

Figure 4

The Langmuir-Hinshelwood plot (4) reporting (1/𝑟₀) (in min⋅L⋅mg^-1 of mineralised carbon) as a function of (1/𝐶₀) (in L⋅mg^-1 of carbon), for all kinetic runs in which analysis has been carried out by COD measurements, these latter being transformed by calculation into total organic carbon. Absorbed radiation power per unit membrane length was 1.50 W⋅cm^-1 and overall reacting volume 4.0 L, in all the runs of this kind. In the laboratory-scale photoreactor (see Experimental), standard photocatalytic membranes, immobilising 30 wt.% of P-25 titanium dioxide, were employed.
