The reactor is to be used for photo-catalysis of TiO2 using a UV source. I have a basic idea of its setup. I further need help to get the specifics like the material to be used for medium(through which light will be transmitted to the reactor), the wattage of source, the position of source(whether it will be inside the reactor or outside the reactor) and at how much distance from the reactor .
I would really be thankful for your help. If you could additionally provide me with some papers/literature it would be great!
Hello,
You can use a wooden box ,and then put the other components like lamp, container of reaction, magnetic stirrer, fun....
The position and type of lamp depended on the size and shape of reaction container .... if the container as beaker or wide container , the lamp must be up the container ...
You can read my manuscripts to get an idea.

Powder or Dispersion?
I suggest to compare your ideas with the available products.

if you are below 300 nm the window material have to be fused silica.
Aiden,
check this two review papers:

Remember to select proper UV lamp (UV-A or UV-B or UV-C) - think also about an alternative one that is HG doped with other metals - this "shifts" the emission spectrum and may be useful in case of specific compounds and catalysts. Remember to focus on UV effective power of the lamp not the total power.
I would suggest to place it inside of the reactor in the place where other oxidants can be injected.
