Graduation project
Thread Content
My graduation project involves a 30-cubic-meter stirred-tank reactor, but I’m not sure which type of reaction to choose. I would appreciate some advice from everyone! !
For a stirred-type system, it would be better to choose a reaction with a liquid phase, and the catalyst should be in the form of solid particles. A simple reaction that can be used is the esterification reaction; a catalyst can be simple concentrated sulfuric acid, or more efficiently, a solid catalyst can be employed.
When stirring in the reaction vessel, it’s a liquid-phase reaction; don’t choose reactions that are too complex, as that will only cause trouble for yourself!
Choose the simple first-order reaction; it is linear and not complex.
Let’s go with the esterification reaction. Batch operation can be used, and calculations can be done based on batch reactor operations. Pay attention to the ratio of the reactants.
