Description
Chemical engineering refers especially to chemical reaction engineering. Indeed, chemical reactions, catalyzed or not, are at the heart of all industrial syntheses. Study of a chemical reaction, in a perfectly‐stirred reactor, permits the operator to understand the influence of the different parameters in the optimization of the chemical synthesis with a view to its industrialization.
Carry out operations of fine chemistry products synthesis
Perform and study reactions:
- Esterification or saponification
- Concentration by evaporation
- Crystallization by cooling
Knowledge of reaction’s characteristics:
- Basic, aqueous, organic, mineral medium
- Endo or exothermic reaction
- Bi-phase catalytic reaction
Carrying out of an operation depending on operating conditions:
- Working pressure: atmospheric or vacuum
- Monitoring of cooling during crystallization
- Management of the distillation with reflux ratio definition
Proposed experiments:
- Butyl acetate esterification.
- Separation of reaction products by distillation and decantation.
- Calculation of reaction output.
- Calculation of mass balances.
