Lecture

High Pressure Chemistry: Novel Process Windows

Description

This lecture covers the concept of high pressure chemistry, focusing on novel process windows and the transition from batch to continuous processes. It discusses the effects of high pressure on equilibrium constants, rate constants, selectivity, solubility of gases in liquids, and physical properties. The use of superheated, near-critical, or supercritical conditions is emphasized, along with the advantages of using supercritical fluids as solvents. Various examples and criteria for industrializable technologies are presented, highlighting safety, reliability, quality, cost, and productivity considerations. The lecture also explores the characteristic times approach in chemical reactors and the fundamental characteristic times for different chemical and physical phenomena.
