Photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue was studied in three mini-fluidized bed reactors, with Fe3+/TiO2photocatalyst coated on the inner wall of fluidized bed (Fe3+/TiO2/quartz tube), on the surface of fluidized particles (Fe3+/TiO2/glass beads) or on both. In the reactor of Fe3+/TiO2/quartz tube with glass beads (d= 3 mm, initial bed heightH0= 15 mm), due to addition and fluidization of glass beads, mass transfer coefficient increased 11–13 times and apparent reaction rate constant increased 4.9 times compared to the empty tube. In the reactor of quartz tube with Fe3+/TiO2/glass beads (d= 3 mm,H0= 15 mm), experimental results were fitted well with a simplified kinetic model. Degradation rate per unit reaction volume reached highest value at voidage of 0.75 for all inner diameter (ID) beds. In the reactor of Fe3+/TiO2/quartz tube with Fe3+/TiO2/glass beads which combined the advantages of above two forms of catalyst, the degradation ratios were 5–35% higher than that in the other two reactors. With the increase of tube ID, scale-up effect was found. Degradation rate per unit reaction volume in Fe3+/TiO2/quartz tube with glass beads (Rav,I) and that in quartz tube with Fe3+/TiO2/glass beads (Rav,II) were introduced to quantitatively describe the processing ability and scale-up effect. The values ofRav,Iof 1 mm ID bed were between 4.5 and 1.8 times to 3 mm ID bed when glass beads increased from empty tube toH0= 15 mm. The values ofRav,IIof 1 mm ID bed were about 1.4–1.9 times to 3 mm ID bed at allH0. Scale-up effect was caused by the variation of radiation flux density, specific surface area, mass transfer distance and light penetration distance.
