Flexible Bench-Scale Recirculating Flow CPC Photoreactor for Solar Photocatalytic Degradation of Methylene Blue Using Removable TiO<sub>2</sub> Immobilized on PET Sheets

<div>Fabricated bench-scale CPC photoreactor was used in this work. It contains seven low iron borosilicate tubes connected in series (a). Each tube was fixed on a reflector fabricated from stainless steel grade 304 (b). T connectors were used to obtain a flexible lab-scale system (use only one tube or more and withdrawing sample at any tube is possible). The simulated wastewater is fed from the lower tube to the upper one against the gravity using centrifuge pump connected to 4-L stirrer tank (not shown). The output treated wastewater was circulated to the tank (closed system). TiO<sub>2</sub> immobilized on PET sheets were wrapped on temperature-resistant removable Teflon rods hanged in the middle of each glass tube.</div>
