Technical Description
The properties of different chemical reactors can be investigated by
performing a saponification reaction using this trainer. The contact
time and reaction temperature can be varied. Their influence on the
conversion of reactants is observed in the respective reactor. The
reactors are available as accessories. The unit contains two supply
tanks for the liquid chemicals. Two variable speed diaphragm pumps pump
the reactants through the reactor. Reactant conversion and reaction
temperature are measured with a combined conductivity and temperature
measuring unit. It is also possible to use PC data acquisition. The
reaction is moderated using a controlled hot water circuit. The
resulting reaction product is collected in a stainless steel tray in
the unit.
Learning Objectives / Experiments
In conjunction with the various types of reactors available as
accessories in the CE 310 series, comprehensive experiments on the
reaction kinetics and on the conversion of reactants during a
saponification reaction can be performed. Specifically, the following
experiments can be performed:
- Variation of contact time of the two chemicals
- Variation of reaction temperature
- Adiabatic reaction in a batch reactor
- Isothermal reaction in a batch reactor
Features
* Basic unit to study and compare various reactors using the example of a saponification
* High precision, combined conductivity and reaction temperature measurement
* Usage of industrial diaphragm pumps
