Abstract: Disclosed is a facet-preserved photocatalytic reactor system including a housing defining a treatment region, a support assembly disposed within the housing, and an immobilized photocatalytic body mounted on the support assembly. The immobilized photocatalytic body includes zinc oxide particles arranged as a monolithic body, a foam body, or a porous carrier-supported body, with exposed crystallographic surfaces preserved in dominant proportion for photocatalytic interaction with a fluid. An inlet passage and an outlet passage are formed in the housing for passing the fluid through the treatment region. A radiation-admission portion is provided in the housing, and an irradiation unit is positioned relative thereto to expose the immobilized photocatalytic body to sunlight or simulated solar radiation. A flow control arrangement maintains the fluid in irradiated contact with the immobilized photocatalytic body for degradation of contaminants without release of the zinc oxide particles into the fluid.
