The Evolution of the Fed Batch Ethoxylation Reactors to Produce the Non-Ionic Surfactants

The most recent reactor technology to produce non-ionic surfactants via ethoxylation reaction is illustrated in the present work. advanced reactors are deeply for what concerns working principle and main performance. In detail, Venturi Loop Reactor (VLR), Spray Tower (STLR) Enhanced (ELR) depicted, related performance compared. ELR shows highest flexibility, reach desired degree, at same time good performances comparable with VLR. Moreover, allows high as this condition, a mixing, case of liquid expansion, difficult be achieved other reactors. Thus, it possible work higher degree respecting safety issues. Finally, comprehensive model was proposed describe quantitatively mentioned characterized by general validity can easily adapted each specific configuration.
