It has been shown that CO 2 could be transformed into hydrocarbons when it is in contact with water vapour and catalysts under UV irradiation. This paper presents an experimental set-up to study the process employing a new approach of heterogeneous photocatalysis using pellet form of catalyst instead of immobilized catalysts on solid substrates. In the experiment, CO 2 mixed with water vapour in saturation state was discharged into a quartz reactor containing porous TiO 2 pellets and illuminated by various UV lamps of different wavelengths for 48h continuously. The gaseous products extracted were identified using gas chromatography. The results confirmed that CO 2 could be reformed in the presence of water vapour and TiO 2 pellets into CH 4 under continuous UV irradiation at room conditions. It showed that when UVC (253.7nm) light was used, total yield of methane was approximately 200ppm which was a fairly good reduction yield as compared to those obtained from the processes using immobilized catalysts through thin-film technique and anchoring method. CO and H 2 were also detected. Switching from UVC to UVA (365nm) resulted in significant decrease in the product yields. The pellet form of catalyst has been found to be attractive for use in further research on photocatalytic reduction of CO 2 .
