Batch Reactor
• A “batch” of reactants is introduced into the reactor operated at the desired conditions until the target conversion is reached.
• Batch reactors are typically tanks in which stirring of the reactants is achieved using internal impellers, gas bubbles, or a pump-around loop where a fraction of the reactants is removed and externally recirculated back to the reactor.
![Page 22: Types of Chemical Reactors - appliedchem.unideb.huappliedchem.unideb.hu/Unit Operation 3/Reactors/reactortypes.pdf · Tubular Flow Reactor • A tubular flow reactor (TFR) is a tube](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022021606/5cf0eb8188c99387118d0f5e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Batch Reactors
• Temperature is regulated via internal cooling surfaces (such as coils or tubes), jackets, reflux condensers, or pump-around loop that passes through an exchanger.
• Batch processes are suited to small production rates, too long reaction times, to achieve desired selectivity, and for flexibility in campaigning different products

CSTR
• A continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) is a vessel to which reactants are added and products removed while the contents within the vessel are vigorously stirred using internal agitation or by internally (or externally) recycling the contents.
• CSTRs may be employed in series or in parallel.
![Page 28: Types of Chemical Reactors - appliedchem.unideb.huappliedchem.unideb.hu/Unit Operation 3/Reactors/reactortypes.pdf · Tubular Flow Reactor • A tubular flow reactor (TFR) is a tube](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022021606/5cf0eb8188c99387118d0f5e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
CSTR
• Residence time – average amount of time a discrete quantity of reagents spend inside the tank
• Residence time = volumetric flow rate
volume of the tank
• At steady state, the flow rate in must be equal the mass flow rate out.
![Page 29: Types of Chemical Reactors - appliedchem.unideb.huappliedchem.unideb.hu/Unit Operation 3/Reactors/reactortypes.pdf · Tubular Flow Reactor • A tubular flow reactor (TFR) is a tube](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022021606/5cf0eb8188c99387118d0f5e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
CSTR Applications
• Continuous stirred-tank reactors are most commonly used in industrial processing, primarily in homogeneous liquid-phase flow reactions, where constant agitation is required. They may be used by themselves, in series, or in a battery.
• Fermentors are CSTRs used in biological processes in many industries, such as brewing, antibiotics, and waste treatment. In fermentors, large molecules are broken down into smaller molecules, with alcohol produced as a by-product.

Plug Flow Reactor
Plug flow, or tubular, reactors consist of a hollow pipe or tube through which reactants flow. Pictured below is a plug flow reactor in the form of a tube wrapped around an acrylic mold which is encased in a tank. Water at a controlled temperature is circulated through the tank to maintain constant reactant temperature.

Applications of Plug flow reactor
• Plug flow reactors have a wide variety of applications in either gas or liquid phase systems. Common industrial uses of tubular reactors are in gasoline production, oil cracking, synthesis of ammonia from its elements, and the oxidation of sulfur dioxide to sulfur trioxide.
![Page 35: Types of Chemical Reactors - appliedchem.unideb.huappliedchem.unideb.hu/Unit Operation 3/Reactors/reactortypes.pdf · Tubular Flow Reactor • A tubular flow reactor (TFR) is a tube](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022021606/5cf0eb8188c99387118d0f5e/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Tubular Flow Reactor
• A tubular flow reactor (TFR) is a tube (or pipe) through which reactants flow and are converted to product.
• The TFR may have a varying diameter along the flow path.
• In such a reactor, there is a continuous gradient (in contrast to the stepped gradient characteristic of a CSTR-inseries battery) of concentration in the direction of flow.
• Several tubular reactors in series or in parallel may also be used. Both horizontal and vertical orientations are common
![Page 36: Types of Chemical Reactors - appliedchem.unideb.huappliedchem.unideb.hu/Unit Operation 3/Reactors/reactortypes.pdf · Tubular Flow Reactor • A tubular flow reactor (TFR) is a tube](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022021606/5cf0eb8188c99387118d0f5e/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Tubular Flow Reactor
Chemical reactions take place in a stream of gasthat carries reactants from the inlet to the outlet
The catalysts are in tubes Uniform loadingis ensured by using special equipment thatcharges the same amount of catalyst toeach tube at a definite rate.
![Page 37: Types of Chemical Reactors - appliedchem.unideb.huappliedchem.unideb.hu/Unit Operation 3/Reactors/reactortypes.pdf · Tubular Flow Reactor • A tubular flow reactor (TFR) is a tube](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022021606/5cf0eb8188c99387118d0f5e/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Semi Batch Reactor
• Some of the reactants are loaded into the reactor, and the rest of the reactants are fed gradually. Alternatively, one reactant is loaded into the reactor, and the other reactant is fed continuously.
• Once the reactor is full, it may be operated in a batch mode to complete the reaction. Semi-batch reactors are especially favored when there are large heat effects and heat-transfer capability is limited. Exothermic reactions may be slowed down and endothermic reactions controlled by limiting reactant concentration.

Semi Batch reactors
• In bioreactors, the reactant concentration may be limited to minimize toxicity.
• Other situations that may call for semibatchreactors include control of undesirable by-products or when one of the reactants is a gas of limited solubility that is fed continuously at the dissolution rate.

Classification by Phase
• Despite the generic classification by operating mode, reactors are designed to accommodate the reactant phases and provide optimal conditions for reaction.
• Reactants may be fluid(s) or solid(s), and as such, several reactor types have been developed.
• Single phase reactors are typically gas- (or plasma- ) or liquid-phase reactors.
• Two-phase reactors may be gas-liquid, liquid-liquid, gas-solid, or liquid-solid reactors.

Classification by Phase
• In addition, a reactor may perform a function other than reaction alone. Multifunctional reactors may provide both reaction and mass transfer (e.g., reactive distillation, reactive crystallization, reactive membranes, etc.), or reaction and heat transfer.
• This coupling of functions within the reactor inevitably leads to additional operating constraints on one or the other function. Multifunctional reactors are often discussed in the context of process intensification.
• The primary driver for multifunctional reactors is functional synergy and equipment cost savings.
