Keeping Table.4-1 in mind, what batch reactor volume would fc neces-j saiy to process the same amount of species A per day as the flow reactors while achieving not less than 90% conversion Referring to Table 1-1, estimate the cost of the batch reactor. 1... 

Chain transfer to the aluminium alkyl was also deserved. Using the method of moments the authors obtained an equation for the first three moments of active, temporarily deactivated, and dead chains. As a result of a computerized search for the values of constants, based on the model and on the experimental data obtained in a batch reactor (volume = 131), some of the values were found to differ considerably from those published in the literature.

The hydrogenolysis of EL was carried out in SS batch reactor (volume = 100ml). Prior to reaction catalysts were reduced at 400 °C, unless otherwise specified, for 4 h under H2 flow (60ml/min). Catalysts were transferred into the batch reactor with exclusion of air. The amount of catalyst and ester was 0.5 g (2.8 wt. %) and 20 ml (75 mmol), respectively. The reaction was carried out under optimal reaction condition at T = 250 °C H2 and pressure of 9.5 MPa. The reaction time (t) was 8 hours. Liquid reaction products were analyzed by gas chromatography.

Steady state. We would, however, like to demonstrate that it is still possible to achieve the specific concentration associated with that steady state. Certainly, this will require a special operating regime to achieve (which shall be detailed in the following sections), but this will always be with the intention that the reactor is operated under bateh conditions—that is, with a distinct cycle time where the state variables of the batch reactor (volume, concentration, etc.) do, in fact, vary for the duration of this period. 

Considering the daily capacity of the reactor as G (i.e., the daily mass of desired product, kg/day), the total number of daily batches as N and the average density of the mixture as p, then the batch reactor volume will be ... 

In modeling a batch reactor, we assume there is no inflow or outflow of material and that the reactor is well mixed. For most liquid-phase reactions, the density change with reaction is usually small and can be neglected (i.e., U = Vo). In addition, for gas-phase reactions in which the batch reactor volume remains constant, we also have V = Vo-... 

The participant A is identified by the subscript a. Thus, the concentration is C the number of mols is n -, the frac tional conversion is the partial pressure is p and the rate of decomposition is /. Capital letters are also used to represent concentration on occasion thus, A instead of C. The flow rate in mol is n but the prime ( ) is left off when the meaning is clear from the context. The volumetric flow rate is V reactor volume is or simply V of batch reac tors the total pressure is 7C and the temperature is T. The concentration is = n /V or n IV. ...

A semi-batch reactor has the same disadvantages as the batch reactor. However, it has the advantages of good temperature control and the capability of minimizing unwanted side reactions by maintaining a low concentration of one of the reactants. Semi-batch reactors are also of value when parallel reactions of different orders occur, where it may be more profitable to use semi-batch rather than batch operations. In many applications semi-batch reactors involve a substantial increase in the volume of reaction mixture during a processing cycle (i.e., emulsion polymerization). 

Since the volume depends on conversion or time in a constant pressure batch reactor, consider the mole balance in relation to the fractional conversion X. From the stoichiometry. 

Assuming that the reactions are first order in a constant volume batch reactor, the rate equations for components A, B, C, and D, respectively, are ... 

The design of production plants for the manufacture of the three categories of product varies considerably. Fine chemicals are usually produced in batch reactors, which may also be used for the production of a variety of similar products. Fine chemicals usually have demanding product quality specifications and, consequently, a significant fraction of the production costs are involved in product purification and testing. Intermediate volume chemicals have less rigorous quality specifications than fine chemicals and are usually manufactured in product-specific-plants, either as batch or continuous flow processes. Bulk chemical production plants usually operate continuous flow processes... 

The reaction rate ( rco) for a constant volume batch reactor system is equal to the rate of mass transfer (r coy. 

Although many industrial reactions are carried out in flow reactors, this procedure is not often used in mechanistic work. Most experiments in the liquid phase that are carried out for that purpose use a constant-volume batch reactor. Thus, we shall not consider the kinetics of reactions in flow reactors, which only complicate the algebraic treatments. Because the reaction volume in solution reactions is very nearly constant, the rate is expressed as the change in the concentration of a reactant or product per unit time. Reaction rates and derived constants are preferably expressed with the second as the unit of time, even when the working unit in the laboratory is an hour or a microsecond. Molarity (mol L-1 or mol dm"3, sometimes abbreviated M) is the preferred unit of concentration. Therefore, the reaction rate, or velocity, symbolized in this book as v, has the units mol L-1 s-1. 

The rate of polymerization with styrene-type monomers is directly proportional to the number of particles formed. In batch reactors most of the particles are nucleated early in the reaction and the number formed depends on the emulsifier available to stabilize these small particles. In a CSTR operating at steady-state the rate of nucleation of new particles depends on the concentration of free emulsifier, i.e. the emulsifier not adsorbed on other surfaces. Since the average particle size in a CSTR is larger than the average size at the end of the batch nucleation period, fewer particles are formed in a CSTR than if the same recipe were used in a batch reactor. Since rate is proportional to the number of particles for styrene-type monomers, the rate per unit volume in a CSTR will be less than the interval-two rate in a batch reactor. In fact, the maximum CSTR rate will be about 60 to 70 percent the batch rate for such monomers. Monomers for which the rate is not as strongly dependent on the number of particles will display less of a difference between batch and continuous reactors. Also, continuous reactors with a particle seed in the feed may be capable of higher rates. 

The experimental semibatch apparatus and procedure have been described in several places through the text of Wisseroth s publications ( 1, 7-9). so the details will not be repeated here. For nearly all of his work the reactor volume was one liter, temperature was 80 C, pressure was 30 atm (441 psia), and the feed was polymerization grade I assume that the reactor gas composition was 99% CsHgand 1% inerts. The range of catalyst loading was from 11 to 600 mg of TiCils per batch. The reaction time was varied from 0.5 to 6 hours. The weight ratio of alkyl-to-TiC 3 in the catalyst recipe was varied from 0.5 to 32. No data are reported from a continuous gas phase reactor. 

The concept of a well-stirred segregated reactor which also has an exponential residence time distribution function was introduced by Dankwerts (16, 17) and was elaborated upon by Zweitering (18). In a totally segregated, stirred tank reactor, the feed stream is envisioned to enter the reactor in the form of macro-molecular capsules which do not exchange their contents with other capsules in the feed stream or in the reactor volume. The capsules act as batch reactors with reaction times equal to their residence time in the reactor. The reactor product is thus found by calculating the weighted sum of a series of batch reactor products with reaction times from zero to infinity. The weighting factor is determined by the residence time distribution function of the constant flow stirred tank reactor.
