DESCRIPTION:

Catalytic reaction:

Any catalytic liquid-liquid or liquid-gas reaction involving the use of a catalyst placed in basket can be studies in this set-up. Kinetic parameter of a specific reaction can be estimated & parametric studies can be conducted. The set-up consists of a reactor centrally having one spinning basket derived through a variable speed motor. The metered flow of reactant from feed tank is fed to the reactor at the bottom. The set-up can be used as batch wise of as continuous type. Sampling points are provided for analysis. Port connection for gas inlet is provided at the bottom of the reactor.

The present set-up has a facility to interface the system with computer which enables to log the experimental data using computer. The educational software and data-logging package has been developed for unit. The software environment base is of Lab view of NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS, USA. This software is compatible to interfacing unit designed by “Lab Smith. This software package provides a comprehensive educational software environment within which the investigations can be performed. This software is capable to tabulate the sample readings according to the requirement of experiment under study and results obtained can be compared. The real time data acquisition can be done by interfacing the set-up with computer using software. Software allows the user to have control on data logging, printing the stored data, preparing spread sheets in Excel etc.
