Batch Reaction (BR) Pilot Plant Educational Training Equipment

RE Batch Reaction (BR) Pilot Plant Educational Training Equipment

This pilot plant concerns the batch reaction; the study of kinetics is carried out versus the variation of conductivity in the reactor.
TRAINING PROGRAM
This unit enables to deepen the following issues:
• Determination of reaction kinetics
• Reaction thermodynamics
• Mass and energy balance
• Exercises than can be carried out:
- kinetics of hydrolysis of ethyl acetate
- preparation of p-Toluensulfonic acid
- preparation of diethyl adipate
- reaction of urea with nitrous acid

- preparation of cyclohexanonoxime from hydroxylamine sulfate and cyclohexanone
- transformation of acetic anhydride into acetic acid and display of reaction kinetics by measurement of conductivity
- preparation of amide
