Chemical reactor design
Thread Content
Paid assistance available; for details, please send a private message to discuss the requirements: It is necessary to design a chemical reactor for research purposes. Design requirements: 1. A solid powder reacts with water to produce gas; therefore, a reaction device with controllable gas flow rate is required； 2. Heat is generated as the powder reacts with water, so a cooling system is required ； 3. The area for storing the powder material and carrying out the reaction should, whenever possible, be within the same reactor; work on developing the control system has already begun, with the focus being on reactor design ； Thank you
This reaction should be a fast one; to control the amount of gas, it is necessary to control the amount of reactant added. This type of reaction is best carried out in an autoclave: first, the powder is added to the reaction vessel, and then water is pumped into it using a high-pressure pump, with the amount of water added being determined based on the desired amount of gas.
It’s a bit similar to dry-acetylene generators; they were developed a few years ago to address the difficulties associated with treating wastewater generated by wet-acetylene processes. By now they should be mature enough, so it’s worth taking them into consideration.
Let me share some thoughts, just for reference. Water is circulated through the reactor/pump/jet, while the powder tank/star valve controls the rate at which solids are added (a certain amount of nitrogen is drawn in and then separated). It is connected to the vacuum inlet of the jet; the inlet for the reaction mixture in the jet can be designed to inject it tangentially into the reactor, where heat is removed by the jacket during the reaction. Two stages of suspension separators are installed at the outlet of the reactor. . .
Uh, let’s correct two mistakes: from the ejector outlet to the reactor, and the cyclone separator. .
