4 Introduction  Seldom is the reaction of interest the only one that occurs in a chemical reactor. Typically, multiple reactions will occur, some desired and some undesired. One of the key factors in the economic success of a chemical plant is minimization of undesired side reactions that occur along with the desired reaction.  In this chapter, we discuss reactor selection and general mole balances for multiple reactions. First, we describe the four basic types of multiple reactions: series, parallel, independent, and complex.  Next, we define the selectivity parameter and discuss how it can be used to minimize unwanted side reactions by proper choice of operating conditions and reactor selection. Seoul National University

5 Objectives  Define different types of selectivity and yield
 Choose a reaction system that would maximize the selectivity of the desired product given the rate laws for all the reactions occurring in the system.  Size reactors to maximize the selectivity and to determine the species concentrations in a batch reactor, semi-batch reactor, CSTR, PFR, and PBR, systems. Seoul National University

9 8.1.2 Instantaneous Selectivity, SDU
D (Desired Product) A U (Undesired Product) kD kU Selectivity tells us how one product is favored over another when we have multiple reactions. The rate laws are 순간선택도는 D의생성속도와 U의 생성속도와의 비율이다. Rate of formation of D = Rate of formation of U Seoul National University

10 Overall Selectivity, SDU
~ For Flow Reactor SD/U = ~ FU FD = Exit molar flow rate of undesired product Exit molar flow rate of desired product 총괄선택도는 D의 유출속도와 U의 유출속도의 비율이다. For Batch Reactor SD/U = ~ NU ND = No. of moles of undesired product at the end of rxn time No. of moles of desired product at the end of rxn time Seoul National University

11 Comparison between SD/U and SD/U for a CSTR
~ ~ Mission: Develop a relationship between SD/U and SD/U in a CSTR SD/U = rU rD Solution D (Desired Product) A U (Undesired Product) kD SD/U = ~ FU FD kU Mole balance of D and U yields FD=rDV and FU=rUV, respectively rDV rD FD ~ SD/U SD/U = = = = FU rUV rU SD/U = SD/U ~ Seoul National University

17 We want to maximize SD/U.
8.3 Parallel Reactions D (Desired Product) A U (Undesired Product) kD kU The rate laws are (8-6) (8-7) (8-8) We want to maximize SD/U. (8-9) = Rate of formation of U Rate of formation of D (8-10) a1 and a2 are positive reaction orders Seoul National University

18 8.3.2 Maximizing the Desired Product for One Reactant
D (Desired Product) A U (Undesired Product) kD kU  Case 1: a1 > a2 , a = a1- a2 (8-11) Maximize SD/U - keeping the concentration of reactant A as high as possible during the rxn - in gas phase rxn, we should run it w/o inerts and at high pressures to keep CA high - in liquid phase rxn, the use of diluents should be keep to a minimum - use a batch or plug-flow reactor Seoul National University

19 8.3.2 Maximizing the Desired Product for One Reactant
D (Desired Product) A U (Undesired Product) kD kU  Case 2: a2 > a1 , b = a2- a1 (8-12) Maximize SD/U - keeping the concentration of reactant A as low as possible during the rxn - in gas phase rxn, we should run it with inerts and at low pressures to keep CA low - in liquid phase rxn, the use of diluents should be keep to a maximum - use a CSTR or recycle reactor (product stream act as a diluent) Seoul National University

20 Maximizing SDU for one reactant
Whether the reaction should be run at high or low T?  Case 3: ED > EU kD (rD) increases more rapidly with increasing temp. than does the kU. keeping the temperature as high as possible to maximize SDU.  Case 4: EU > ED - keeping the temperature as low as possible to maximize SDU - not so low that the desired rxn does not proceed to any significant extent. Seoul National University

21 Ex 8-1: Maximizing SB/XY for the Trambouze Reaction
Reactant A decomposes by three simultaneous reactions to form three products, B (desired), X (undesired), and Y (undesired). These liquid phase reactions, along with the appropriate rate laws, are called the Trambouze reactions. X (0차) A B (1차) Y (2차) k1 k2 k3 How and under what conditions (e.g., reactor types, temperature, concentrations) should the reaction be carried out to maximize the selectivity of B ?  The specific reaction rates are 300K  E1=10,000, E2=15,000, and E3=20,000 kcal/mole  CA0=0.4M, v0=2.0 dm3/s Seoul National University

22 Maximizing SB/XY for the Trambouze Reaction
CA SB/(X+Y) 0.025 0.05 0.625 0.075 0.1 0.125 0.15 0.175 0.2 0.225 0.25 0.275 0.3 0.325 0.35 0.375 0.4 0.425 0.45 0.475 0.5 SB/(X+Y)=(0.0015*CA)/( *CA2) 0.84 SB/(X+Y) 0.112 CA (mol/dm3) Seoul National University

23 Maximizing SB/XY for the Trambouze Reaction
As we see, the selectivity reaches a maximum at a concentration C*A. Because the concentration changes down the length of a PFR, we cannot operate at this maximum. Consequently, we will use a CSTR and design it to operate at this maximum. To find the maximum C*A, we differentiate SB/(X+Y) w.r.t. CA, set the derivative to zero, and solve for C*A. That is, Seoul National University

24 Maximizing SB/XY for the Trambouze Reaction
We now calculate this CSTR volume and conversion. The net rate of formation of A from reactions (1), (2), and (3) is CSTR volume for this liquid-phase reaction, CSTR volume for maximum selectivity Seoul National University

25 Maximizing SB/XY for the Trambouze Reaction
Maximum the selectivity w.r.t. temperature Case 1: high temperature (w/o side rxn) Case 2: low temperature (with insured conversion) For the activation energies given above So the selectivity for this combination of activation energies is independent of temperature ! Seoul National University

26 Maximizing SB/XY for the Trambouze Reaction
What is the conversion of A in the CSTR? If greater than 72% conversion of A is required, then the CSTR operated with a reactor concentration of mol/dm3 should be followed by a PFR because the concentration and selectivity will decrease continuously from C*A as we move down the PFR to an exit concentration CAf. Hence the system Would be the highest selectivity while forming more the desired product B, beyond what was formed at C*A in a CSTR. How can we increase the conversion and still have a high selectivity SB/(X+Y)? Seoul National University

27 Maximizing SB/XY for the Trambouze Reaction
Optimum CSTR followed by a PFR. The exit concentration of X, Y, and B can be found from the CSTR mole balances Let’s check to make sure the sum of all the species in solution equals the initial concentration CA0 = 0.4. CA+CX+CB+CY= =0.4 //// QED Seoul National University

28 Maximizing SB/XY for the Trambouze Reaction
The reason we want to use a PFR after we reach the maximum selectivity, SB/XY, is that the PFR will continue to gradually reduce CA. Thus, more B will be formed than if another CSTR were to follow. If 90% conversion were required, then the exit concentration would be CAf=(1-0.9)(0.4 mol/dm3)=0.04 mol/dm3. The PFR mole balances for this liquid-phase reaction (v=v0) are Combining mole balances with their respective rate laws yields t=0, the entering concentrations to the PFR are the exit concentrations from CSTR. Seoul National University

29 Maximizing SB/XY for the Trambouze Reaction
The conversion can be calculated We will use Polymath to plot the exit concentrations as a function of t and then determine the volume (V=v0t) for 90% conversion (CA=0.04 mol/dm3) and then find CX, CB, and CY at this volume. This volume turns out to be approximately 600 dm3. At the exit of the PFR, CA=0.037, CX=0.11, CB=0.16, and CY=0.09 all in mol/dm3. One now has to make a decision as to whether adding the PFR to increase the conversion of A from 0.72 to 0.9 and the molar flow rate of B from 0.26 to 0.32 mol/s is worth not only the added cost of the PFR, but also the decrease in selectivity. This reaction was carried out isothermally; nonisothermal multiple reactions will be discussed in Chapter 8. Seoul National University

30 Maximizing SB/XY for the Trambouze Reaction
FA0=0.8 mol/s FB=0.26 mol/s X*=0.72 SB/XY=0.84 FB=0.32 mol/s X=0.9 SB/XY=0.8 V=600 dm3 CA* V=1564 dm3 ~ 분석: 이제 PFR을 덫붙여 A의 전화율을 0.72에서 0.9로 증가시키고 B의 몰유량을 0.26에서 0.32mol/s로 증가시키는 것이 PFR의 추가 설치비용 뿐만 아니라 선택도가 0.84에서 0.8로 감소하는 만큼의 가치가 있는지 결정해야 한다. 이 예제에서 트람보제(Trambouze) 반응을 통해 CSTR에서 성분 B에 대한 선택도를 최적화하는 방법을 보여 주었다. 여기서 최적 출구 조건 (CA=0.112 mol/dm3), 전화율 (X=0.72), 선택도 (SB/XY=0.84)를 찾았다. 이 때의 반응기 부피는 V = 1564 dm3 이었다. 만약 전화율을 90%로 증가시키고 싶다면, CSTR 뒤에 PFR을 설치할 수 있고 이때 선택도는 감소하는 것을 알 수 있다.

57 풀이 PBR 기상 몰수지 속도 알짜속도

58 속도법칙 상대속도 반응1: 반응2: 선택도 W = 0, FD = 0일 때 SC/D는 무한대이다. 그러므로 ODE 풀이자가 충돌이 일어나는 것을 방지하기 위해 W = 0으로부터 매우 작은 수, W= kg 사이에서 SC/D = 0으로 설정한다.

60 매개변수 이 식들을 폴리매스의 ODE 풀이자에 입력하면, 표 E8-5.1와 그림E8-5.1, 그림E8-5.2의 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 분석: 그림 E8-5.2로부터 선택도가 바로 입구 근처 (W= 60kg) 최대값을 갖고 그 이후로 급격히 감소하는 것을 볼 수 있다. 그러나 원하는 생성물인 C가 최대 유량을 갖는 촉매 질량이 200kg까지도 A의 90%는 소모되지 않는다. 반응 (1)의 활성화 에너지가 반응 (2)의 활성화 에너지보다 크다면, 온도를 높여 C의 몰유량과 선택도를 높일 수 있다. 그러나 그것도 소용이 없다면, 원하는 생성물의 선택도와 몰유량 중 어떤 것이 더 중요한지 선택해야 한다. 전자의 경우 PBR 촉매 무게는 60kg이 된다. 후자의 경우 PBR 촉매 무게는 200kg이다.

For a CSTR, a coupled set of algebraic eqns analogous to PFR differential eqns must be solved. Rearranging yields where After writing a mole balance on each species in the reaction set, we substitute for concentrations in the respective rate laws. If there is no volume change with reaction, we use concentrations, Cj, as variables.

80 8.6 Membrane Reactors to Improve Selectivity
in Multiple Reactions In addition to using membrane reactors to remove a reaction product in order to shift the equilibrium toward completion, we can use membrane reactors to increase selectivity in multiple reactions. This increase can be achieved by injecting one of the reactants along the length of the reactor. It is particularly effective in partial oxidation of hydrocarbons, chlorination, ethoxylation, hydrogenation, nitration, and sulfunation reactions to name a few.

81 8.6 Membrane Reactors to Improve Selectivity
in Multiple Reactions O C In the top two reactions, the desired product is the intermediate. However, because there is oxygen present, the reactants and intermediates can be completely oxidized to form undesired products CO2 and water.

82 8.6 Membrane Reactors to Improve Selectivity
in Multiple Reactions The desired product in the bottom reaction is xylene. By keeping one of the reactants at a low concentration, we can enhance selectivity. By feeding a reactant through the sides of a membrane reactor, we can keep its concentration low.

83 Example 8-8 Membrane Reactors to Improve Selectivity
in Multiple Reactions The reactions above take place in the gas phase. The overall selectivity, , are to be compared for a membrane reactor (MR) and a conventional PFR. First, we use the instantaneous selectivity to determine which species should be fed through the membrane.

84 Example 8-8 Membrane Reactors to Improve Selectivity
in Multiple Reactions We see that to maximize SD/U we need to keep the concentration of A high and the concentration of B low; therefore, we feed B through the membrane. The molar flow rate of A entering the reactor is 4 mol/s and that of B entering through the membrane is 4 mol/s as shown in Figure E For the PFR, B enters along with A. The reactor volume is 50 dm3 and the entering total concentration is 0.8 mol/dm3. Plot the molar flow rates and overall selectivity, , as a function of reactor volume for both the MR and PFR.

90 Combine The Polymath Program will combine the mole balance, net rates, and stoichiometric equations to solve for the molar flow rate and selectivity profiles for both the conventional PFR and the MR and also the selectivity profile. A note of caution on calculating the overall selectivity. We have to fool Polymath because at the entrance of the reactor FU=0. Polymath will look at and will not run because it will say you are dividing by zero. Therefore, we need to add a very small number to the denominator, say ; that is
