A novel solar photocatalytic reactor was developed

in which compound parabolic concentrator was used as solar collecting component

and TiO2 catalyst supported on glass fiber mesh by the sol-gel method was used as catalyst.The photonic collection efficiency factor was estimated to be about 0.759 by potassium ferrioxalate actinometry.As the result of reasonable fixation configuration and appropriate catalytic activity of immobilized catalyst

the apparent quantum yield of phenol degradation in the reactor could reach up to 1/2 of that of the reactor with slurry catalyst system

which suggests that the reactor is of good practicability.
