A Photoreactor Box is a specialized device used for conducting photochemical reactions, with its core principle based on the interaction between light and matter.

This equipment is typically equipped with light sources of specific wavelengths, such as ultraviolet light and visible light. These light sources can emit photons with sufficient energy to excite the molecules of the reactants. When photons irradiate the molecules in the reaction system, the molecules absorb the photon energy and transition from the ground state to the excited state. Molecules in the excited state have higher reactivity and can participate in various chemical reactions, including decomposition, isomerization, and addition.

The interior of the Photoreactor Box is designed with a reaction chamber that can accommodate liquid or gaseous reactants. To ensure efficient reaction progress, the equipment precisely controls reaction conditions such as temperature, light intensity, and illumination time. By adjusting these parameters, the reaction process can be optimized to improve product yield and selectivity.

In addition, some Photoreactor Boxes are equipped with stirring devices to fully mix the reactants, ensuring uniform light exposure and further enhancing the reaction effect. Meanwhile, the equipment may have a ventilation system to expel gases or heat generated during the reaction and maintain a stable reaction environment.
