Black-body-like photocatalytic reactor

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-001358",
  "term": "Black-body-like photocatalytic reactor",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A photoreactor in which the catalyst, as a powder layer or a concentrated dispersion, is thick enough that practically all the incident photons are absorbed, so the reactor behaves like a black body for the light entering it. The number of absorbed photons can then be taken as equal to the number incident, which is needed for quantum-yield measurements, both for photoadsorption and for photocatalysed reactions. The light should be monochromatic and the temperature well controlled.",
