Question: Batch reactor
Thread Content
I have a question: Is the valve for discharging waste residue in an intermittent reactor located at the bottom? Are there any dead zones there, and could this affect the yield of the reaction? Thank you
Intermittent reaction vessels typically use bottom discharge, with the discharge valve located at the center of the bottom head； Since it is the lowest point of the reactor, there are no dead zones during mixing, and this does not affect the yield of the reaction. For reference!
Thank you, clguan! Also, can the valves of an intermittent reactor be opened and closed when it is hot? What is the temperature control accuracy of a batch reactor, for example in a reaction at 300 degrees? Thank you for the reply.
The so-called batch reactor is essentially a reactor that produces products in batches. Its typical production cycle involves the steps of feeding raw materials in, carrying out the reaction, obtaining the finished product, and then discharging it. This is what we refer to as a batch production reactor, and its output volume is determined by the capacity of the reactor or the actual amount of material fed in； It’s not much different from the experimental reactors used in laboratories (except that its volume is much larger). Its operation is the same as that of ordinary equipment, and the valves can be opened and closed at any temperature ； As for its temperature control accuracy, it mainly depends on the method of temperature control (jacket or internal heat exchange coil) and the precision of the control instrument (valve) used for temperature regulation. For reference!
Thank you for the reply. Which one offers higher temperature control accuracy, the jacket or the internal heat exchange coil?
