THE OPERATING PERFORMANCE OF STIRRED COLUMN REACTOR

A theoretical analysis of the effects of Row and mixing on the operati ng features of a stirred column reactor(SCR) with multistage mixers an d cooling partition plates was conducted. A method for calculating the concentration reduction for a second order chemical reaction in a SCR was proposed. The reactants concerned were pre-mixed before feeding i nto the SCR. The SCR was composed of a number of stages with interstag e backmixing. Experimental investigation with various reaction media w ere carried out in order to study the effect of mixing on the operatio nal performance of the SCR. The experimental data were compared with t he theoretical results.
