BAHAVIOR OF REACTING AND COALESCING DISPERSED PHASE IN A STIRRED TANK REACTOR

抄録

This paper aims to present some experimental studies of reacting and coalescing dispersed phase in a stirred tank reactor.
Reaction conversions were measured for a 2nd order reaction in the dispersed phase between two reactants, K₄[Fe(CN)₆] and K₂S₂O₈, which entered the reactor in identical fashion in separate dispersed phase streams. The interaction rates were evaluated by comparing the reaction conversions measured with those calculated by Spielman and Levenspiel. Direct measurements of the interaction rates were also carried out by a light transmittance technique at the same condition as that in the measurement of reaction conversion.
It was found that the interaction rates measured by a chemical reaction were in agreement with those measured directly by a physical method within the limits of the experiments. Some problems of the studies are also discussed.
