Abstract

In photocatalytic (PC) water treatment process, light utilization efficiency and light quantum yield play more important role than other ordinary chemical factors such as concentration, pH, temperature, and pressure. Two main bottlenecks, poor light utilization efficiency and low light quantum yield, that influence PC degradation efficiency and restrict the application of PC technique in wastewater treatment were detailed discussed in this chapter. In order to solve or improve these bottlenecks, a rotating disk PC reactor has been developed by researchers. This reactor exhibits excellent PC performance due to its high light utilization efficiency and may have a broad application prospect. The rotating disk PC reactor and its latest research progresses, from micro film photocatalyst structures to macro photocatalytic substrates and to dual rotating disks PC reactor (photo fuel cell), is also introduced in this chapter.
