Lastly, practically in any kinetic experiment there are some uncertainties in its conditions and results. This concerns such factors as mixing of reactants, regimes of gas flow in different zones of the reaction system, wall effects, axial and radial temperature gradients, spatial distribution of reaction rates, concentrations, pressure, etc. A lot of effort must be applied even to measure the reactant conversion and the main product distributions at the exit of the reactor, needless to say anything about concentrations of active intermediates and concentration distributions inside the reactor. Moreover, up to now there is no clear understanding about which measured parameters are the most informative and should be preferred. 

Kinetic modeling used for process development and process optimization has a historical tradition. Quite often power law models are still used to describe kinetic data. Such phenomenological expressions, although useful for some applications, in general are not reliable, as they do not predict reaction rate, concentration and temperature dependence outside of the range of the studied experimental conditions. Thus, in catalysis, due to the complex nature of this phenomenon, adsorption and desorption of reactants as well as several steps for surface reactions should be taken into account. Models based on the knowledge of elementary processes provide reliable extrapolation outside of the studied interval and also make the process intellectually better understood. 

Summary. The classical mass action law of chemical kinetics was proved, in fact, in the linear fluid mixture as the general constitutive equations for the reaction rates which were reproduced in this section as (4.470). This law generally states that the rates depend only on temperature and composition expressed by densities, molar concentrations or activities or, alternatively, even by (molar) chemical potentials. The equilibrium constant of independent reactions was defined by (4.474). Then we have shown on several reaction examples how the general function reaction rate-concentrations (or reaction rate-activities) can be approximated by a suitable... 

We explore four variables that affect reaction rates concentration, physical states of reactants, temperature, and presence of catalysts. These factors can be understood in terms of the collisions among reactant molecules that lead to reaction.

A more detailed understanding of reactions of this kind will be necessary to appreciate the performance of oxidation and chlorination gas-liquid reactors, which are usually supposed to proceed by radical mechanisms. It is possible that a variety of radical species may occur and their many possibilities for recombination may lie behind the wide spectrum of products characteristic of oxidations and chlorinations. A related case where product HCl in a chlorination substitution acts autocatalytically has been reported by Joosten et al (20). The general overall reaction characteristics have so far not been reported in the literature. However, the inflected character of the reaction rate/concentration behaviour of these autocatalytic reactions makes the occurrence of unusual patterns of reactor multiplicity highly probable.

The fiinctional dependence of tire reaction rate on concentrations may be arbitrarily complicated and include species not appearing in the stoichiometric equation, for example, catalysts, inliibitors, etc. Sometimes, however, it takes a particularly simple fonn, for example, under certain conditions for elementary reactions and for other relatively simple reactions ... 

If certain species are present in large excess, their concentration stays approximately constant during the course of a reaction. In this case the dependence of the reaction rate on the concentration of these species can be included in an effective rate constant The dependence on the concentrations of the remaining species then defines the apparent order of the reaction. Take for example equation (A3,4.10) with e. The... 

As it has appeared in recent years that many hmdamental aspects of elementary chemical reactions in solution can be understood on the basis of the dependence of reaction rate coefficients on solvent density [2, 3, 4 and 5], increasing attention is paid to reaction kinetics in the gas-to-liquid transition range and supercritical fluids under varying pressure. In this way, the essential differences between the regime of binary collisions in the low-pressure gas phase and tliat of a dense enviromnent with typical many-body interactions become apparent. An extremely useful approach in this respect is the investigation of rate coefficients, reaction yields and concentration-time profiles of some typical model reactions over as wide a pressure range as possible, which pemiits the continuous and well controlled variation of the physical properties of the solvent. Among these the most important are density, polarity and viscosity in a contimiiim description or collision frequency. 

Instead of concentrating on the diffiisioii limit of reaction rates in liquid solution, it can be histnictive to consider die dependence of bimolecular rate coefficients of elementary chemical reactions on pressure over a wide solvent density range covering gas and liquid phase alike. Particularly amenable to such studies are atom recombination reactions whose rate coefficients can be easily hivestigated over a wide range of physical conditions from the dilute-gas phase to compressed liquid solution [3, 4]. 

In the reaction kinetics context, the tenn nonlinearity refers to the dependence of the (overall) reaction rate on the concentrations of the reacting species. Quite generally, the rate of a (simple or complex) reaction can be defined in temis of the rate of change of concentration of a reactant or product species. The variation of this rate with the extent of reaction then gives a rate-extent plot. Examples are shown in figure A3.14.1. In... 

The simplest manifestation of nonlinear kinetics is the clock reaction—a reaction exliibiting an identifiable mduction period , during which the overall reaction rate (the rate of removal of reactants or production of final products) may be practically indistinguishable from zero, followed by a comparatively sharp reaction event during which reactants are converted more or less directly to the final products. A schematic evolution of the reactant, product and intenuediate species concentrations and of the reaction rate is represented in figure A3.14.2. Two typical mechanisms may operate to produce clock behaviour.

Flere, A and B are regarded as pool chemicals , with concentrations regarded as imposed constants. The concentrations of the intemiediate species X and Y are the variables, with D and E being product species whose concentrations do not influence the reaction rates. The reaction rate equations for [X] and [Y] can be written in the following dimensionless fomi ... 

The representation of a chemical reaction should include the connection table of all participating species starting materials, reagents, solvents, catalysts, products) as well as Information on reaction conditions (temperature, concentration, time, etc.) and observations (yield, reaction rates, heat of reaction, etc.).

With these reaction rate constants, differential reaction rate equations can be constructed for the individual reaction steps of the scheme shown in Figure 10.3-12. Integration of these differential rate equations by the Gear algorithm [15] allows the calculation of the concentration of the various species contained in Figure 10.3-12 over time. This is. shown in Figure 10.3-14.
