Reaction engineering processes

Oxidative coupling of isobutene suffers from severe deep oxidation. As in many other partial oxidation reactions selectivity remains low, despite intensive optimization of catalysts and reaction conditions. Among various new reactor concepts, the separation of catalyst reduction and reoxidation is very promising (two step process). Reaction engineering investigations of the two step process have been done. The influence of reaction conditions and reversibility of reduction/reoxidation cycles have been investigated. Based on the reaction engineering results a first approach to a kinetic model of both reaction steps has been developed.

Then two somewhat simph-fied industrial examples are worked out in detail mild thermal cracking and production of styrene. Even these calculations are impractical without a computer. The basic data and mathematics and some of the results are presented. 

The book does not focus on occupational safety and health issues, although improved process safety can benefit these areas. Detailed engineering designs are outside the scope of this work. This book intends to identify issues and concerns in batch reaction systems and provide potential solutions to address these concerns. This should be of value to process design engineers, operators, maintenance personnel, as well as members of process hazards analysis teams. While this book offers potential solutions to specific issues/concerns, ultimately the user needs to make the case for the solutions that provide a balance between risk... 

In reaction engineering, laboratory catal54ic reactors are tools or instruments to study how catalysts behave in some desired reaction. Quantitatively, the investigator wants to know how much of the desired product can be made per unit weight of catalyst, how much raw material will be used, and what byproducts will be made. This is the basic information needed to estimate the costs and profitability of the process. The economic consequence of our estimates also forces us to clarify what the rate limiting steps are, and how much transfer processes influence the rates, i.e., everything that is needed for a secure scale-up. Making the... 

A more general model of gas-liquid-particle processes than those that have so far appeared in the literature would, it seems, be of considerable interest as a basis for comparing the reaction-engineering properties of the several types of gas-liquid-particle operations, and as a means for analyzing operations with finite liquid flow (for example, trickle-flow operation and gas-liquid fluidization).

The reactions are still most often carried out in batch and semi-batch reactors, which implies that time-dependent, dynamic models are required to obtain a realistic description of the process. Diffusion and reaction in porous catalyst layers play a central role. The ultimate goal of the modehng based on the principles of chemical reaction engineering is the intensification of the process by maximizing the yields and selectivities of the desired products and optimizing the conditions for mass transfer.

Since the first synthesis of ammonia, catalyst development and chemical reaction engineering have been instrumental in the creation of the chemical process industry. As a result, catalytic processes have contributed much to the realization of prosperous civilizaticm. In the future, catalytic processes are expected to fulfill important roles in petroleum refining, diemical processing and environmental preservation. However, at present, many catalytic processes discharge large amounts of byproducts and consume large amounts of auxiliary raw materials.
