REC1 Continuous Reaction (CSTR) Pilot Plant Didactic Education Equipment for School Lab Chemical Engineering

Description

REC1 Continuous Reaction (CSTR) Pilot Plant Didactic Education Equipment for School Lab Chemical Engineering

This pilot plant concerns the continuous 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

– transformation of acetic anhydride into acetic acid and display of reaction kinetics by measurement of conductivity
