Isothermal Semi-Batch Reactor
An isothermal semi-batch reactor is a semi-closed system with one input stream. It is operated under conditions like Isothermal (Temperature of Reaction Mass remains constant) and perfectly mixed (composition of reaction mixture is uniform throughout).
This set-up is used to study a
non-catalytic homogeneous reaction under isothermal condition. The set
up consists of a Reactor fitted in a constant temperature water bath.
Before starting the reaction the reactor charged with measured quantity
of one reactant. From a feed tank another reactant is fed to the
reactor. Using a sampling pipette samples can be taken out for analysis
after fixed interval. Rotameter is provided to measure the flow of
Chemicals. The magnetic drive pump is used for circulation of feed. One
stirrer is fitted for mixing the reactants in reactor and other is
fitted in water bath to keep the uniform temperature throughout in the
bath. The temperature of bath can be maintained from ambient, to 70C
with the help of Digital Temperature indicator Cum Controller
