Abstract
Novel Chemical Reactors in the Curriculum: An Instructional ModuleFor the production of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals, chemical reactions areoften carried out in batch rather than continuous mode. Two novel alternatives arethe cavitational reactor [1] and the spinning disk reactor [2]. These utilizesonication and high gravity, respectively, to enhance mass transfer in the reactor,leading to significant performance improvements over batch reactors. Thismodule will provide instruction on the phenomena exploited to achieve theimprovements in each reactor type and basic configuration and will provide anoverview of technology applications and commercial use. Examination of reactionsystem yields/selectivity for the alternative reactors will be compared toperformance data for conventional reactors. An instructional module on novelchemical reactors will be presented in this paper.[1] Gogate, P.R.; “Cavitational reactors for process intensification of chemical processing applications: A critical review,” Chemical Engineering and Processing, 47, 515-527 (2008).[2] Oxley, P.; Brechtelsbauer, C.; Ricard, F.; Lewis, N.; Ramshaw, C.; “Evaluation of Spinning Disk Reactor Technology for the Manufacture of Pharmaceuticals,” Ind.
