1 Volume of water in the reactor is 660 cm3; Area of screen-printed TiO2 film is 0.0252 m2. The ratio of TiO2 film:water volume in Reactors B and C is 1:2.62. Volume of water in Reactors 1, 2, and 3 is 660, 1320, and 1980 cm3; thus, the ratio of TiO2 film:water volume in the reactor is 1:2.62, 1:5.24, 1:7.86, respectively in that order.
