A toolbox approach for the transfer of batch to continuous chemical synthesis is presented. The considers reaction kinetics (Type A, B, C), reacting phases (single phase, liquid–liquid, gas–liquid and liquid–solid), network (parallel consecutive reactions) in order select most appropriate reactor module (Plate, Coil, or CSTR) operation. Then, three case studies using these fundamental reactors are presented but require special considerations. For dimethyl-oxalate with ethylmagnesium...
Calcium looping is an emerging CO2 capture technology based on cyclic calcination/carbonation reactions using calcium-based sorbents. Steam typically present in flue/fuel gas streams from combustion or gasification and the calciner used for sorbent regeneration. The effect of steam performance has received little attention literature. Here, experiments were conducted a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) to determine injection during calcination reactivity carbonation. Two Canadian limestones,...
Direct air capture (DAC) is a developing technology for removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere or low-CO2-containing sources. In principle, it could be used to remove sufficient CO2 compensate hard-to-decarbonize sectors, such as aviation, even polishing gas streams containing relatively low concentrations. this paper, performance of lime-based sorbents in fixed bed was investigated. The effects sorbent type, particle diameter, flow rate, and relative humidity on breakthrough...
Experiments were performed using a dual fluidized bed reactor system, operated in batch mode, order to investigate the effects of steam and simulated syngas on CO2 capture sorbent conversion efficiency for naturally occurring Polish calcitic limestone. In addition, effect high partial pressures calcination process was examined either oxygen-enriched air or oxy-fuel combustion calciner. As expected, under conditions resulted decreased carbonation due primarily particle sintering pore...
The gas hydrate growth model of Englezos et al. (Chem. Eng. Sci. 1987, 42, 2647) was modified based on a concentration driving force where the equilibrium at surface is determined pressure and temperature, with latter varying between bulk three-phase temperature depending rate heat removal. In order to study kinetics, literature mole consumption rates area obtained in semibatch stirred tank reactor were used. extraction intrinsic kinetic constant intimately linked estimated area, which...
