Abstract

PURPOSE:To enlarge the scale of a rector for photosynthesis and to improve production efficiency, by providing a reactor with many reaction tanks for photosynthesis having outer peripheral walls set at given intervals, consisting of hexagonal transparent members, and reflecting plates arranged between the reaction tanks. CONSTITUTION:The many reaction tanks 10 for photosynthesis having the outer peripheral walls 11 consisting of hexagonal transparent members are set at given intervals, and the reflecting plates 20 are arranged between the reaction tanks. Light rays reflected by the reflecting plates 20 are introduced through the outer peripheral walls 11 of the transparent members into the reaction tanks 10. In the operation, since a great number of light radiators are installed in the reaction tanks 10, and the light rays introduced into the tanks 10 are transmitted through the outer peripheral walls of the light radiators or air layers in the light radiators, the light rays are introduced more effectively into the inside, and contribute more effectively to photosynthesis reactions in the tanks 10. Consequently, the scale of a reactor for photosynthesis is enlarged, sunlight and/or artificial light are more effectively utilized, to improve production efficiency.
