Lecture

Continuous Reactors: Advantages & Applications

Description

This lecture covers the advantages of continuous reactors over batch reactors, focusing on the potential benefits of reduced reactor size, increased surface-to-volume ratio, intensified mixing, and homogeneous mixing. It also discusses the implications of these advantages, such as improved heat and mass transfer, enhanced safety, and increased productivity. The use of supercritical fluids as solvents is explored, highlighting their good solvation power, mass transfer properties, and reduced solvent requirements. Various high-pressure conditions effects on reactions are also examined, including volume effects and kinetic effects, with examples provided to illustrate the impact of pressure on reaction kinetics.
