- A novel mathematical model describing the photocatalytic hydrogen generation, with both the surface adsorption-reactions and the light absorbing mechanism in the same predicting model, was successfully validated by experimental photoreactor runs and integrated for the wavelength span particle photoactivity. The novel visible light LED photoreactor experiments was undertaken with variation of reaction parameters such as the catalyst loadings, photolyte concentrations and incident radiation fluxes where the results proved that the model predicted photocatalytic hydrogen production well with minor computational effort or use of any commercial software. The derived model is suggested for reactor up-scaling and for similar LED reactor design.
