Abstract

Abstract Design of reaction systems for specialty organic chemicals requires utilization of chemical reaction engineering principles for a wide variety of kinetic problems. Kinetic analysis must include breakdown of the overall reaction into definable components in order to identify parallel and/or consecutive reactions that result in by-product formation. Once identified, methods of minimizing by-product formation can be developed. Examples are described of complex reaction systems which have required development of specialized procedures to minimize by-product formation. Each example represents a different kinetic problem and method of solution. Emphasis is placed on the close interaction between chemists and chemical engineers during laboratory development and plant reaction system design to achieve successful commercial operation.
