Mass balance reaction

Molecular structure enters into the rotational entropy component, and vibrational frequencies into the vibrational entropy component. The translational entropy component cancels in a (mass) balanced reaction, and the electronic component is most commonly zero. Note that the vibrational contribution to the entropy goes to oo as v goes to 0. This is a consequence of the linear harmonic oscillator approximation used to derive equation 7, and is inappropriate. Vibrational entropy contributions from frequencies below 300 cm should be treated with caution.

To illustrate the development of a physical model, a simplified treatment of the reactor, shown in Fig. 8-2 is used. It is assumed that the reac tor is operating isothermaUy and that the inlet and exit volumetric flows and densities are the same. There are two components, A and B, in the reactor, and a single first order reaction of A B takes place. The inlet concentration of A, which we shall call Cj, varies with time. A dynamic mass balance for the concentration of A (c ) can be written as follows ...

It is often experimentally convenient to use an analytical method that provides an instrumental signal that is proportional to concentration, rather than providing an absolute concentration, and such methods readily yield the ratio clc°. Solution absorbance, fluorescence intensity, and conductance are examples of this type of instrument response. The requirements are that the reactants and products both give a signal that is directly proportional to their concentrations and that there be an experimentally usable change in the observed property as the reactants are transformed into the products. We take absorption spectroscopy as an example, so that Beer s law is the functional relationship between absorbance and concentration. Let A be the reactant and Z the product. We then require that Ea ez, where e signifies a molar absorptivity. As initial conditions (t = 0) we set Ca = ca and cz = 0. The mass balance relationship Eq. (2-47) relates Ca and cz, where c is the product concentration at infinity time, that is, when the reaction is essentially complete. 

Thus, if Ca and Cb can both be measured as functions of time, a plot of v/ca vs. Cb allows the rate constants to be estimated. (If it is known that B is also consumed in the first-order reaction, mass balance allows cb to be easily expressed in terms of Ca-) The rate v(Ca) is the tangent to the curve Ca = f(t) at concentration Ca-This can be determined graphically, analytically, or with computer processing of the concentration-time data. Mata-Perez and Perez-Benito show an example of this treatment for parallel uncatalyzed and autocatalyzed reactions. 

The rate equation is developed in the usual manner. The reaction variables are related as follows, where these identities arise from mass balance arguments. (We let A represent ML , for convenience, and Z represents ML ). 

Mass balance considerations apply tlie law of tlie conservation of mass to account for each constituent entering and leaving a system. Constituents that do not comprise the product are either retained by the system or released from tlie system as waste. This method requires a quantitative analysis of the influent and effluent streams and an understanding of chemical reactions occurring within tlie system. 

General Material Balances. According to the law of conservation of mass, the total mass of an isolated system is invariant, even in the presence of chemical reactions. Thus, an overall material balance refers to a mass balance performed on the entire material (or contents) of the system. Instead, if a mass balance is made on any component (chemical compound or atomic species) involved in the process, it is termed a component (or species) material balance. The general mass balance equation has the following form, and it can be applied on any material in any process. 

It must be kept in mind that the reaction term will not occur in the overall mass balance equations of reactive systems because S(R- = 0, i.e., there is no net mass gain or loss as a result of chemical reactions.

Before energy balance is calculated, we need to make mass balance. Figure 9.1 shows the material balance for ethanol and glycerol fermentation. Put simply, mass into the system is equal to mass out of die system. The mass of carbon dioxide is calculated by adding mass of dry cell, mass of glycerol, mass of edianol and mass of water at product stream and then subtracting die sum from die feed stream. As a result, die mass of carbon dioxide is defined. The heat of the reaction is calculated by the following equation ...

Also, a specific analysis for the intermediate itself may be developed. It may be detectable at levels below those discernible as discrepancies in the mass balance. If the concentration of. the intermediate is very low, Eqs. (1-5) and (1-6) hold. If not, then reactant consumption and product buildup occur at different rates. Such complications will be considered in Chapters 3 and 4. Most complexities in kinetics involve reactive intermediates. Relatively few reactions of significance occur in a single step, so issues concerning intermediates will recur throughout this book. 

For most real systems, particularly those in solution, we must settle for less. The kinetic analysis will reveal the number of transition states. That is, from the rate equation one can count the number of elementary reactions participating in the reaction, discounting any very fast ones that may be needed for mass balance but not for the kinetic data. Each step in the reaction has its own transition state. The kinetic scheme will show whether these transition states occur in succession or in parallel and whether kinetically significant reaction intermediates arise at any stage. For a multistep process one sometimes refers to the transition state. Here the allusion is to the transition state for the rate-controlling step. 

Schmid et al. studied in detail the sulfonation reaction of fatty acid methyl esters with sulfur trioxide [37]. They measured the time dependency of the products formed during ester sulfonation. These measurements together with a mass balance confirmed the existence of an intermediate with two S03 groups in the molecule. To decide the way in which the intermediate is formed the measured time dependency of the products was compared with the complex kinetics of different mechanisms. Only the following two-step mechanism allowed a calculation of the measured data with a variation of the velocity constants in the kinetic differential equations.
