| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A photocatalytic microreactor consisting of glass capillary or transparent-flexible resin tube both with small inner diameter, in which slug flow of supercritical carbon dioxide can be attained, was newly developed. Photocatalyst immobilized on the inner surface of glass capillary and tube was irradiated by UV-LED lamp. The usefulness of high-pressure photocatalytic-reaction in the developed reactor was proven in the applications to methanol production by reducing carbon dioxide and direct photocatalytic oxidation of phenol. Further, in order to maximize the usefulness of supercritical carbon dioxide as solvent, it was shown that supercritical carbon dioxide enabled direct deposition of Titanium on the silica gel particles with pore size of 6 nm and 12 nm by means of the developed device.
