Selectivity and Yield InstantaneousOverall Selectivity
Selectivity and Yield InstantaneousOverall Selectivity Yield:
Selectivity and Yield InstantaneousOverall Selectivity Yield: Example:(1)desired product, r D =k 1 C A 2 C B (2)undesired product, r U =k 2 C A C B
Selectivity and Yield InstantaneousOverall Selectivity Yield: Example:(1)desired product, r D =k 1 C A 2 C B (2)undesired product, r U =k 2 C A C B Run at high concentration of A. Therefore, use a PFR.
Selectivity and Yield (1)desired product, r D =k 1 C A 2 C B (2)undesired product, r U =k 2 C A C B Add a third reaction. (3)
Selectivity and Yield (1)desired product, r D =k 1 C A 2 C B (2)undesired product, r U =k 2 C A C B Add a third reaction. (3) then CACA S D/U1/U2
