Reactions fluids

Two lists of gas/liquid reactions of industrial importance have been compiled recently. The literature survey by Danckwerts (Gas-Liquid Reactions, McGraw-Hill, 1970) cites 40 different systems. A supplementary list by Doraiswamy and Sharma (Heterogeneous Reactions Fluid-Lluid-Solid Reactions, Wiley, 1984) cites another 50 items, and indicates the most suitable land of reactor to be used for each. Estimates of values of parameters that may be expec ted of some types of gas/liquid reac tors are in Tables 23-9 and 23-10. 

In the fluid coking process, part of the coke produced is used to provide the process heat. Cracking reactions occur inside the heater and the fluidized-bed reactor. The fluid coke is partially formed in the heater. Hot coke slurry from the heater is recycled to the fluid reactor to provide the heat required for the cracking reactions. Fluid coke is formed by spraying the hot feed on the already-formed coke particles. Reactor temperature is about 520°C, and the conversion into coke is immediate, with...

From the point of view of chemical metallurgy, the class of heterogeneous reactions in which a fluid (gas or liquid) contacts a solid, reacts with it and transforms it into the product is very important and involves many of the principles pertaining to heterogeneous reactions. Fluid-solid reactions may essentially be represented in the following three ways ...

Micronutrients are required to support metabolic activities for cellular homeostasis such as enzyme reactions, fluid balance, and regulation of electrophysiologic processes. 

The factors that can affect the rate of heat transfer within a reactor are the speed and type of agitation, the type of heat transfer surface (coil or jacket), the nature of the reaction fluids (Newtonian or non-Newtonian), and the geometry of the vessel. Baffles are essential in agitated batch or semi-batch reactors to increase turbulence which affects the heat transfer rate as well as the reaction rates. For Reynolds numbers less than 1000, the presence of baffles may increase the heat transfer rate up to 35% [180]. 

Consider, now, a reaction scheme in which A diffuses from a phase interface into a stagnant reaction fluid in which a first-order chemical reaction occurs. Here, the chemical rate process and the physical rate process (diffusion) occur in parallel, so that... 

Here, / is the distance from the interface. If Ca is the concentration of A at the surface of the reaction fluid and Ca attains a very low value as I increases, then from eqn. (58), we can obtain an expression for the rate of consumption of A. 

Retrogressive reactions may progress locally in reactors and transfer lines, where long residence times or poor mixing of reaction fluids takes place (102). The surface of the catalyst or minerals adsorb reactants without hydrogenation, and extensive retrogressing reactions may proceed on these surfaces (103). 

The simplicity of such a system is evident from the fact that one needs only to determine, for different rates of flow, the concentration of the residual monomer in the quenched reaction fluid in order to get all the required constants. The initial concentration of the monomer, x0, and that of the living dimer, y0, are chosen at will and kept constant in each series of experiments. The reactor is operated for a few minutes to allow the system to reach its stationary state and then a sample of the outgoing liquid is withdrawn and analyzed for a-methylstyrene. The result gives, therefore, the stationary concentration of the monomer, xt, in the reactor. 

In using earthenware cylinders, the reaction fluid-—anodic or cathodic—is most, suitably placed in the earthenware cylinder, especially if the gases arc to be determined. 

This pressure drop must be high enough to ensure an even distribution of the reaction fluid across the catalytic bed, but it must not be so high as to cause an increase in the cost of compressing and recycling any gases.

For these investigations the metallic samples were fixed in cylindrical autoclaves and installed in an insulated block which was thermostated by electric heating. The autoclaves were kept in a continuous motion throughout the experiment. Thereby a steady contact of the material samples with the gas as well as the liquid phase of the reaction fluid could be maintained. After an operation time of two or three weeks at constant temperature the autoclaves were opened, the samples were weighed, visually examined and a part of them analyzed. The residual samples were put back in the autoclaves for further treatment. 

A solid is a reactant in two general tj s of powder sjnithesis reactions. One type is a fluid-solid reaction, where the fluid is either a liquid or a gas. The other tjqie is a sohd—solid reaction. Fluid-solid reactions can be represented by... 

Heat removal is accomplished by transfer to the vessel jacket, use of internal cooling coils, circulation of the reaction fluid through an external cooling loop, or by use of an overhead condenser to remove heat from the monomer or diluent in the vapor phase. 

From the above, many functions may be imagined based on the employment of thin layers selective mass transfer, chemical or biological reaction, fluid distribution or... 

To illustrate, in Eq. (3-1) the rate is expressed per unit volume. If the volume element includes a heterogeneous mixture of reaction fluid and solid catalyst particles, the proper rate to use in Eq. (3-1) will include...

If fast pre-heating is required, larger heats are released, or if quenching of the hot reaction fluid is needed (or for any other more demanding heat-transfer task), cross- or counter-flow microstructured heat exchangers may be the appropriate solution (Fig. 6.11). They typically have a stacked plate-type design, similar to conventional analogues.

Mid-ocean ridge hydrothermal processes provide an ideal application for geochemical reaction path modeling, involving temperature dependent reactions, fluid mixing, reaction with sulfide products, and reaction with seafloor basalts (5). The solution and solid compositions are well characterized, including that of sulfur isotopes (10.11). However, measured fractionations between solution and solid samples can not be the result of simple equilibrium processes f 10-121.
