Abstract
The present invention provides a photocatalytic reactor and a method for treating gaseous pollutants using the same, which can decompose and remove gaseous pollutants such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), odors, etc. as well as liquid pollutants using an environmentally friendly photocatalytic reaction. To this end, the present invention provides a photocatalytic reactor including: a solution tank to which a fluid containing gaseous pollutants to be treated is supplied through an inlet; a solution injector installed at the top of the inlet and injecting a gaseous pollutant solution into the fluid to be treated such that the gaseous pollutants of the fluid are dissolved; and a liquid photocatalytic treatment device receiving the gaseous pollutant solution, in which the gaseous pollutants of the fluid are dissolved and liquefied, from the solution tank and decomposing the liquefied gaseous pollutants of the fluid.
