The document discusses reactor technology, including different types of reactors such as batch, continuous stirred-tank, plug flow, packed bed, and fluidized bed reactors. It covers topics like homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions, reaction rates, and the general mole balance equation. The goal is to evaluate a locally produced titanium dioxide pigment for degrading bacteria in river water through photocatalytic activity and optimize the process parameters of temperature, pH, and catalyst loading.

Evaluate the photocatalytic activity of a locally produced TiO2
pigment on the degradation of bacteria in river water for potable water purposes and hence optimize the process. The specific objectives are as follows: Evaluate the photocatalytic activity of the mTiO2 on degradation of organics in river water to produce clean water. Optimize process parameters of temperature, starting pH of the solution and mTiO2 loading on the degradation of bacteria in river water. Investigate the percentage removal of mTiO2 and bacteria in treated water using a Polyester Woven Microfiltration Membrane (PEWMM). 19
