Fundamental concepts for the design of photocatalytic reactors are recalled: specific rate, modeling of the distribution of the irradiation, description and modeling of transport phenomena on the macroscopic and macroscopic scales. These are required for establishing the reactor mass balance. A brief survey of various reactors is given for solar or artificial light, gas- or liquid-phase, slurry or fixed-bed.

A mathematical model for nitrification in an aerated fixed bed reactor has been developed. This model is based on material balances in the bulk liquid, gas phase and in the biofilm area. The fixed bed is divided into a number of cells according to the reduced remixing behaviour. A fixed bed cell consists of 4 compartments: the support, the gas phase, the bulk liquid phase and the stagnant volume containing the biofilm. In the stagnant volume the biological transmutation of the ammonia is located. The transport phenomena are modelled with mass transfer formulations so that the balances could be formulated as an initial value problem. The results of the simulation and experiments are compared.

The continuous liquid phase acylation of furan with acetic anhydride over H-beta zeolite was carried out in a fixed-bed reactor. 2-acetylfuran is of considerable commercial importance due to its application in food additives and drug industries.
