The photocatalytic reaction carrier quartz tube is a core optical component designed specifically for photocatalytic reactors and various photochemical reactions. It is precisely manufactured with high-purity fused silica (SiO ₂ purity ≥ 99%). It has extremely high ultraviolet transmittance and excellent high-temperature resistance, acid and alkali corrosion resistance. It can perfectly adapt to a variety of light sources such as ultraviolet lamps and xenon lamps to ensure that light can penetrate efficiently and act on the surface of the catalyst. It is a key consumable to ensure the efficiency of photocatalysis experiments and industrial applications.

Addressing the core challenges and needs of users

In actual photocatalytic experiments and production, users often face challenges such as low transmittance of ordinary glass, poor resistance of reactor materials to high temperatures or strong acid-base corrosion. Our photocatalytic reaction carrier quartz tube accurately addresses the following core requirements:

Maximizing reaction efficiency: solving the problem of ordinary materials blocking ultraviolet rays, ensuring that the catalyst is fully excited.

Ensure accurate experimental data: high-purity materials prevent metal ion precipitation and avoid contaminating expensive experimental samples.

Reduce long-term consumable costs: solve the problem of easy crystallization and cracking of low-quality quartz tubes, and significantly extend their service life.

Core advantages and application value

As a professional manufacturer of quartz tubes as carriers for photocatalytic reactions, we are well aware of the decisive impact of material properties on reaction results. The following are the core advantages of our product:

Extreme UV transmittance: The photocatalytic reaction is highly dependent on the excitation of ultraviolet light (UV). Our quartz tube has a transmittance of over 92% in the ultraviolet band (some high-purity models can reach 94%), far higher than ordinary borosilicate glass. This means that the energy emitted by the light source can penetrate the tube wall to the maximum extent and act on the reaction solution or photocatalyst (such as nano TiO ₂), directly improving the efficiency of hydroxyl radical (OH) generation, thereby significantly increasing the rate of degradation or synthesis reactions.

Excellent high temperature resistance and thermal stability: Photocatalytic reactions are often accompanied by high temperatures or drastic temperature differences. Our quartz tube can withstand extreme environments up to 1200 ° C, with an extremely low coefficient of thermal expansion (5.5 × 10 ⁻⁷/° C) and strong resistance to thermal shock. Even under long-term high-temperature operations or rapid cooling and heating conditions, the tube structure can remain stable and not easily deformed or exploded.

Excellent chemical inertness and high purity: Made of high-purity quartz material, with a silicon dioxide content of ≥ 99% and a total trace element impurity content of less than 10ppm. This endows the product with excellent chemical stability, able to withstand long-term immersion in most strong acids (except hydrofluoric acid), strong bases, and organic solvents, eliminating secondary pollution caused by impurities precipitated on the tube wall during the reaction process, ensuring the objectivity and reproducibility of experimental data.

Flexible customization of specifications and precision machining: We provide comprehensive customization services for specifications and dimensions. Both standard photocatalytic reactor quartz sleeves and integrated shaped quartz carriers with irregular structures can be customized according to needs. The outer diameter range covers 0.5mm to 800mm, and the length and wall thickness can be accurately matched according to equipment requirements. At the same time, we provide various processing methods such as frosted interfaces and flange connections, with dimensional tolerances controlled within ± 0.05mm, ensuring perfect compatibility with various reactor equipment.

Customer application case sharing

Case 1: Environmental Engineering Laboratory of a 985 University (Photocatalytic Degradation Experiment)

When conducting research on photocatalytic degradation of organic dye wastewater in the laboratory, ordinary borosilicate glass was initially used as the reaction carrier. It was found that the reaction efficiency could not meet expectations, and the glass tube wall aged and became turbid under long-term UV irradiation. After replacing our customized high-purity quartz tube, the reaction rate under the same power light source increased by about 35% due to a significant increase in UV transmittance. After 300 hours of continuous high-intensity experiments, the quartz tube still maintained a high transparency state without any crystallization phenomenon, greatly ensuring the continuity and accuracy of the experimental data.

Case 2: A certain energy technology company (pilot line for photocatalytic hydrogen production)

The company has extremely high requirements for the sealing and high temperature resistance of the reactor when building a pilot production line for photocatalytic hydrogen production. Their biggest challenge is that the reaction chamber is prone to leakage in high temperature and high pressure environments, and ordinary quartz tubes are prone to cracking due to thermal stress. We provide customized integrated quartz reaction carriers and use precise annealing processes to eliminate internal stress. In actual operation, the product has perfectly withstood high temperature environments of over 1000 ° C and severe temperature differences, running continuously for more than 2000 hours without any faults, helping the company successfully increase the yield rate of photocatalytic hydrogen production by 15% and significantly reduce the cost of production line shutdown and maintenance.
