Semibatch reactors reversible

Adapted from H. S. Fogler, Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering, 3rd ed., Prentice Hall, Upper Saddle River, NJ, 1999.) Pure butanol is fed into a semibatch reactor containing pure ethyl acetate to produce butyl acetate and ethanol in the reversible reaction ... [Pg.96]

Equilibrium Conversion. For reversible reactions carried out in a semibatch reactor, the maximum attainable conversion (i.e., the equilibrium conversion) will change as the reaction proceeds because more reactant is continuously added to the reactor. This addition shifts the equilibrium continually to the right. Consider the reversible reaction... [Pg.196]

Semibatch reactors can be employed to increase the yield of a reversible reaction by removing one of the products. ... [Pg.190]
