The selectivity of (1, 1) order gas-liquid reactions was studied by taking into account mass transfer in the diffusion film. An approximate method for calculating the yield of an intermediate product and reaction time was presented. Consecutive chlorination of p-cresol was carried cut in a stirred tank reactor with a constant gas-liquid contacting area, and the effects of various reaction conditions such as stirring speed and dilution of chlorine with air on the yield of the intermediate product were examined.
It was found that experimental results were well explained by the theory, and the approximate solutions could give good estimations for the yield and the reaction time.
