Procedure 1 500 kg of reactant A (MW = 100 kg/kmol) is added to 5000 kg of a mixture of organic solvent (MW = 200 kg/kmol) containing 60% excess of a second reactant B (MW = 125 kg/kmol) in a jacketed reaction vessel (R-301), the reactor is sealed, and the mixture is stirred and heated (using steam in the jacket) until the temperature has risen to 95″C. The density of the reacting mixture is 875 kg/m3 (time taken = 1.5 h). 2 Once the reaction mixture has reached 95″C, a solid catalyst is added, and reaction takes place while the batch of reactants is stirred. The required conversion is 94% (time taken = 2.0 h). 3 ………………………………………………………………………………………. 4
