To provide a photocatalyst reactor usable at a high temperature which can sufficiently decompose a substance to be decomposed contained in a fluid, even if the temperature of the fluid is 100°C or above, by the action of a photocatalyst to clean and deodorize the substance, wherein the photocatalyst is activated by making discharge light irradiate the photocatalyst.
The photocatalyst reactor usable at a high temperature is arranged in a passage 12 of a fluid X of 100°C or above and consists of a photocatalyst module 17, the ceramic substrate of which carries photocatalyst, positive and negative metal electrodes 18a, 18b and a power source part 15. A voltage is applied across the metal electrodes 18a and 18b of positive and negative electrode by the power source part 15 to make the discharge light generate and this discharge light is made to irradiate to the photocatalyst module 17 to activate the photocatalyst. The substance to be decomposed contained in the fluid X in or near the photocatalyst module 17 is decomposed by the action of the above photocatalyst.
