Reaction engineering research

Thus Chapter 2 discusses the phenomenology and basic concepts of classical promotion, a subject quite familiar to catalysis and surface science researchers and graduate students, at a level which should be comfortable to electrochemists, solid state ionics and chemical reaction engineering researchers.

Erik J. Sorensen was bom in 1966 in Oneida, New York. He graduated from Syracuse University with a B. A. in chemistry. He received his Ph. D. degree in chemistry from the University of California, San Diego in 1995 working under the guidance of Professor K. C. Nicolaou. His research interests are in the areas of total synthesis and reaction engineering. 

The earth itself is the reaction vessel and chemical plant. The complicated reaction chemistry and thermodynantics involve ntixers, reactors, heat exchangers, separators, and flnid flow pathways that are a scrambled design by nature. Only the sketchiest of flowsheets can be drawn. The chemical reactor has complex and ill-defined geometry and must be operated in intrinsically transient modes by remote control. Overcoming these difficulties is a trae frontier for chemical engineering research.

This chapter illustrates that the potential of scC02 for reaction engineering of homogeneous catalysis offers a great scope for possible scientific and technical innovation. This newly emerging field of catalysis research lies at the interface of molecular sciences and process engineering and its future development will require truly interdisciplinary efforts from experts in both fields. 

Van Santen [13] identifies three levels of research in catalysis. The macroscopic level is the world of reaction engineering, test reactors and catalyst beds. Questions concerning the catalyst deal with such aspects as activity per unit volume, mechanical strength and whether it should be used in the form of extrudates, spheres or loose powders. The mesoscopic level comprises kinetic studies, activity per unit surface area, and the relationship between the composition and structure of a catalyst and its...
