Abstract:
CO2 methanation is a promising method of preventing the wastage of excess energy generated from renewable electricity sources such as wind and solar. The excess energy is used to power an electrolytic cell to produce H2 which is then reacted with CO2 to form CH4 (chemical energy). The stored CH4 can be converted back to electric energy and released into the power grid whenever energy demand exceeds production. To achieve the best result, a suitable catalyst and good reactor design are crucial. Therefore, this study investigated the effect of varying the catalyst ratio in two reactors in series

Abstract:
The influence of macromixing on organic carbon uptake by aerobic suspended biomass has been investigated using two reactors operated in parallel, i.e. a perfectly mixed reactor and a compartmented reactor. Conversion determined on filtrated samples is identical in both of the reactors but with less solids production in the low-dispersed reactor. The reaction rate established on the perfectly mixed reactor shows an apparent first-order with influence of inlet concentration but this relation cannot be used in a mass balance over the compartmented reactor.

Abstract:
Many designs of industrial reactors stem from designs from the 1960s–1970s. For a wide range of reactions, these designs lead to suboptimal reaction configurations due to limitations in heat- or mass-transfer. Process intensification has come up with a different approach, resulting in micro- and mini-reactors being safer and more cost-effective on a full industrial scale. However, based on the experience in the suboptimal reactor designs, the reaction rates of these reactions seem too low for full-scale reactions in a mini reactor. We suggest a test for the reaction rate based on a generalized

Abstract:
Enzyme catalyzed reactions are rapidly becoming an invaluable tool for the synthesis of many active pharmaceutical ingredients. These reactions are commonly performed in batch, but continuous biocatalysis is gaining interest in industry because it would allow seamless integration of chemical and enzymatic reaction steps. However, because this is an emerging field, little attention has been paid towards the suitability of different reactor types for continuous biocatalytic reactions. Two types of continuous flow reactor are possible: continuous stirred tank and continuous plug-flow. These react

Abstract:
AbstractCO2 capture using solid sorbents in fluidized bed reactors is a promising technology. The multiphase CFD model is increasingly developed to study the reactors, but it is difficult to model all the realistic details and it requires significant computational time. In this study, both the multiphase CFD model (i.e., CFD-DEM model coupled with reaction) and the simplified reactor models (i.e., plug flow model and bubbling two-phase model) are developed for modeling a fluidized bed CO2 capture reactor. The comparisons are made at different gas velocities from fixed bed to fluidized bed. The

The aim of this work is to present in a systematic way a novel general methodology to develop the design equations (heat and mass balances) for networks of ideal reactors, that is, Plug-Flow Reactors (PFRs) and Continuous Stirred Tank Reactors (CSTRs). In particular, after introducing the general definition of conversion to be used for reactor networks, several case studies of interest in chemical engineering are presented as topic-examples of application: (i) adiabatic-stage reactors with recycle, (ii) adiabatic-stage reactors with split, (iii) adiabatic-stage reactors intercooled by reactant

Results showed that both reactors presented similar SMA values in early stages of operation however the UASB–DSBC reactor showed much higher SMA after day 45, when the biomass was in granular stage.

The methanol synthesis via CO2 hydrogenation (MSCH) reaction is a useful CO2 utilization strategy, and this synthesis path has also been widely applied commercially for many years. In this work the performance of a MSCH reactor with the minimum entropy generation rate (EGR) as the objective function is optimized by using finite time thermodynamic and optimal control theory. The exterior wall temperature (EWR) is taken as the control variable, and the fixed methanol yield and conservation equations are taken as the constraints in the optimization problem.

The catalytic combustion has the advantage of lower auto-ignition temperature and helps to expand the combustible limit of lean premixed gas. However, the intake needs to be preheated to certain temperature commonly through an independent heat exchanger. Similar to the principles of non-catalytic RTO combustion, this paper presents a similar approach whereby the combustion chamber is replaced by a catalytic combustion bed.

The first reactor was cylindrical, irradiated from one end by a 150 W mercury lamp. It was employed to obtain the values of the intrinsic kinetic parameters of the degradation of the emerging contaminant clofibric acid (CA). The expression to represent the kinetics of the pollutant was derived from a proposed reaction scheme, and it includes explicitly the effect of photon absorption rate on the reaction rate.
