Towards Integrated Continuous-Flow Chemical Reactors

چکیده
A device for rapid mixing of two solutions is presented. As the main mechanism for mixing is diffusional mass transport, the ̄ow has to be split into several laminae which are narrower than the capillary width. Complete mixing is achieved within a few seconds in a ̄ow-through device with a channel system that is 600mm wide at its narrowest spot.

Immobilized Enzyme Reactors. Diffusion/Convection, Kinetics, and a Comparison of Packed-Column and Rotating Bioreactors for Use in Continuous-Flow Systems
The roles of chemical kinetics and mass transfer in two types of bioreactors (packed-column reactors and rotating disk bioreactors), used with continuous-flow sample/ reagent(s) processing, are discussed in detail. A normalized quantitative comparison between these types of reactors clearly shows that rotating disk reactors afford a significantly more efficient utilization of immobilized active...
متن کاملBioreactor Scale-up for Water-Gas Shift Reaction
A scale-up study has been performed with three different size reactors to establish the optimum operating conditions for the hydrogen production from synthesis gas by biological water-gas shift reaction using the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodosprilliunt rubrum. Optimum medium composition and operating conditions previously determined in a bench scale 1.25 L continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR...

Forces oscillations introduced in the input flow rate of non flat continuous stirred-tank reactors (CSTR with 3 independent species) are shown to result in an averaged flat system with linearizing output independent of the special form of the kinetics laws.

A mathematical model for the prediction of internal recirculation of complex impinging stream reactors has been presented. The model constitutes a repetition of a series of ideal plug flow reactors and CSTR reactors with recirculation. The simplicity of the repeating motif allows for the derivation of an algebraic relation of the whole system using the Laplace transform. An impinging stream...

With the commercial availability of integrated microreactor systems, the numbers of chemical processes that are performed nowadays in a continuous flow is growing rapidly. The control over mixing efficiency and homogeneous heating in these reactors allows industrial scale production that was often hampered by the use of large amounts of hazardous chemicals. Accurate actuation and in line measur...
