Process Intensification: A Case Study

Intensifying Multiphase Reactions and Reactors: Strategies and Examples

“…Sometimes you may need an optimal value of mass transfer to get better selectivity. This is illustrated by the example discussed by Lohokare et al [70]. In this example, the liquid phase reactant (A) is hydrogenated in the presence of a catalyst to give partially hydrogenated liquid phase molecules of B and completely hydrogenated molecule C. B is the desired product.…”

“…Lohokare et al [70] used reaction engineering and CFD models for optimizing external loop gas lift reactor. Darda and Ranade [113] used reaction engineering models for simulating reactive -distillation process for manufacturing isophorone.…”

“…This is illustrated by an example discussed by Lohokare et al In this example, the liquid phase reactant (A) is hydrogenated in the presence of a catalyst to give partially hydrogenated liquid phase molecules of B and completely hydrogenated molecule C. B is the desired product. The selectivity toward B was maximized by operating the reactor in a mass transfer controlled regime by realizing an appropriately low value of mass transfer coefficients ( k L a ).…”

“…Similar sectionalized bubble columns were also used to enhance selectivity of monochloroacetic acid in a continuous chlorination bubble column reactor. Lohokare et al used reaction engineering and CFD models for optimizing an external loop gas lift reactor. Darda and Ranade used reaction engineering models for simulating a reactive–distillation process for manufacturing isophorone.…”
