Reactor selection environmental factors

Obviously, rpEi can be expressed in terms of reaction temperature and concentration or partial pressure of chemicals and so on. Therefore, the PEI rate-law expression can be helpful to analyze the effect of concentrations and temperature on the PEI transformation rate, rpEi, and to study the influence of back-mixing on process environmental performance. At least, the PEI rate-law expression can reveal the factors that control the transformation rate of PEI, so as to provide guidance for the selection of reactor type and operation conditions, and the inner structure of the reactor, which produce desired products while creating minimum undesired potential environmental impact. 

There ate a number of factors to be considered prior to selecting a reactor. In general, they can be grouped into three categories engineering, economic, and environmental.
