Reactor operating parameters

The study of the peak temperature sensitivity to the reactor operating parameters and the construction of sensitivity boundary curves for stable reactor operation were previously reported ( l). This paper presents a computer study on conceptual relationships between the conversion-product properties and the reactor operating parameters in a plug flow tubular reactor of free radical polymerization. In particular, a contour map of conversion-molecular weight relationships in a reactor of fixed size is presented and the sensitivity of its relationship to the choice of initiator system, solvent system and heat transfer system are discussed.

Reactor operating parameters and conditions were pressure 140 Torr, susceptor temperature 1050°C, inlet manifold temperature 27°C, distance between susceptor and inlet 3.9 inches. The carrier gas was composed of H2 (mole fraction 0.846) and NH3 (mole fraction 0.154). The reactant gas trimethylgallium was also included in the flow, but can be neglected in the calculation below.

Because of their predictive capabilities, models are also essential tools in modem biochemical engineering for the design of processes and the optimization of media and reactor operational parameters in batch or continuous operation. They can also serve in the development of software sensors to estimate on-line the time variation of the medium composition. 

In the present paper, the Pd-La/spinel catalyst for this reaction was developed. On this catalyst, the activity and selectivity were high, especially the stability was increased greatly, and it was up to 480 hours under the conditions of 220°C and LHSV=0.3h . But the high initial activity decreases along with time, which impairs the catalyst practice in industrial applications. For this reason, it is important to understand the deactivation mechanism. This work concerns an investigation into the coke formation on the Pd-La/spinel catalyst in the gas-phase amination of 2,6-DIPP. Furthermore, the correlation between coke deposition and combustion was analyzed. The results provide fundamentals not only to develop new catalysts but also to optimize the reactor operation parameters. 

Determination of the loads through analysis of the reactor operating parameters combined with thermal hydraulics calculations for the specific thermal stratification and fluctuation areas. For this purpose, the recent R D progress made in the EFR (European Fast Reactor) project was used and transposed to a real installation.

Other technical challenges include the development of catalysts with a broader photoactivity range (i.e. activity in the visible region) and its integration with a feasible photocatalytic reactor system. In addition, the understanding of the theory behind the common reactor operational parameters and their interactions is also inadequate and presents a difficult task for process optimization. 

A few distributions of VCM suspensions in water viewed by light microscopy into specially designed pressure cells appear in the literature (23,24), but no analyses of droplet size distribution under different conditions of reactor agitation or polymeric additive addition have been reported. A technique for fixing VCM emulsions by osmium tetroxide (25) may prove useful to study the VCM/water system in greater detail. Mersmann and Grossmann (26) have studied the dispersion of liquids in non-miscible two-phase systems, which include chlorinated liquids such as carbon tetrachloride in water. The influence of stirrer type and speed on the development of an equilibrium droplet size distribution is discussed. Different empirical relationships to calculate the Sauter mean diameter of droplet distributions from reactor operating parameters are also reviewed.
