Description
Organic and mineral syntheses operations in a perfectly stirred stainless steel reactor
Study of the influence of operating conditions:
- Batch process
- Atmospheric or reduced pressure
Follow-up of reaction kinetics
- Material balance
- Reactions yield
Separation of the products:
- By distillation and settlement for organic syntheses
- By crystallization for mineral syntheses
Proposed Experiments:
- Water evaporation flow rate under atmospheric pressure:
- Stainless steel reactor, vapour heating: 7L/h.
- Glass reactor, heat control unit: 1,5 L/h.
- Studied synthesis:
- Ethyl acetate esterification.
- Potassium carbonate synthesis.
- Distillation:
- Vapour flow rate control.
- Control of reflux rate and cycle time.
- Azeotropic settlement: inter-phase setting depending on obtained products.
- Crystallization: positive and negative temperature slope management.
- Determination of reactional output.
- Follow -up of the reaction’s kinetics by samplings.
