What could be the problem if the temperature rise in a first-order reactor is too high? For example, the temperature rise exceeds 100°C.
Our temperature rise upon rotation is also around 100°C, so there is no issue of it being too high. The higher the temperature rise, the higher the catalyst activity and the more complete the reaction.
The temperature rise in our primary reactor here is also around 60°C, but that of the secondary reactor is only 10°C! I think this means that basically all the reaction has taken place in the first reaction, with only a small portion remaining to react in the second reaction!
Are there any other possibilities for the excessive temperature rise in the first-stage reactor? For example, could it be due to a low conversion rate in the reactor, with a large amount of reaction taking place in the first stage, or could there be oxygen leakage into the reactor?
The conversion rate of a reaction reactor is generally an empirical value and is difficult to quantify. Reactor furnaces all operate with oxygen-deficient combustion, so hyperoxia is impossible.
So, qualitatively speaking, what factors are related to the conversion rate of a reaction reactor? According to the ratio, it should be impossible for peroxides to form. But is it possible that, due to an insufficient reaction rate, some of the oxygen involved in the reaction enters the reactor, where the catalyst accelerates the reaction?
