Aims

Conception of chemical reactors from cinetic analysis data.

Main themes

Introduction: - classification of chemical reactors - ideal and real reactors - studying the conception of experimental reactors (open or closed system)
Chapter 1 : calculating ideal chemical reactors from the cinetic data; XX reactors with discontinued production, tubular reactors with piston flow, mixing reactors perfectly shaken in isotherm process, influence of the reactor's nature on product formation selectivity in composed reactions.
Chapter 2 : Heterogeneous catalysis and catalytic reactors : chemical cinetics of heterogeneous catalytic reactions, microcinetic on the reactor's grain level, using heterogeneous catalysers in conversion processes: conception of reactionnal section.
Chapter 3 : Analysis of the behaviour of non-ideal catalytic reactors on the bed-level: origin of non-idealism, experimental study of the distribution of time spent in the reactor, tubular reactor model with axial dispersion.
Conclusion : The development of catalytic processes.
Seminaries (15hrs) under the form of personal work and/or assisted, the exercises focused on calculating the chemical reactor's characteristics.
