Tubular Flow Reactor- Engineering Lab Training Systems.
Technical Description
The influence of the reaction
temperature and contact time between two reactants in a chemical
reaction on the resulting substance conversion can be investigated in
this tubular flow reactor. The dimensions of the free-standing unit have
been chosen in a way that the unit can be used in laboratories; still,
the principles of industrial plants are still recognizable. Two liquid
chemicals are continuously pumped through a coiled reaction tube where
they react. The tube is placed in a water bath that can be heated, the
reaction can take place at varying temperatures. The flow rate of the
chemicals can be separately adjusted using two independent pumps.
Varying the flow rate changes the time taken to pass through the tube
and thus results in different periods of contact between the reactants.
The product of the reaction is collected at the outlet and can be
further analysed.
