Scale-up and micro reactors

Bench scale achieved desired conversion, yield, selectivity, productivity S2 CHEMICAL REACTION ENGINEERING LABORATORY S7 Commercial production Scale-up Alternatives: 1. Scale-up in parallel (Scale-out, scale-up by multiplication.) 2. Scale-up vertically – account for effect of change in equipment scale on multi-scale interaction of transport and kinetic phenomena.

SOME KEY SCALE-UP REQUIREMENTS Match mean residence time or mean contact time Match [or account for the change in] dimensionless variance of residence ( contact) times Match [or account for change in] covariance of sojourn times in different environments (phases) of the system Match heat transfer per unit volume, or account for the change with change in scale of equipment

Direct Scale-up of Tubular and Packed Bed Wall- Cooled Reactors: Scale-up by Multiplication Single tube of diameter d t and length L at given feed conditions (P o, T o, C o ) and given feed rate Q (l/h), produces the desired product at the rate of (mol P/h) and the desired selectivity. S Identical tubes of diameter d t and length L produce then the commercial production rate Fp C (S = Fp C ( ), using identical feed conditions and flow rate, at the desired selectivity. Possible Problems:- External heat transfer coefficient - Flow manifold for flow distribution SAME PRINCIPLE USED IN MICROREACTORS

● High surface-to-volume area; enhanced mass and heat transfer; ●high volumetric productivity; ●Laminar flow conditions; low pressure drop Advantages of Micro reactors S2 CHEMICAL REACTION ENGINEERING LABORATORY S9 Residence time distribution and extent of back mixing controlled Low manufacturing, operating, and maintenance costs, and low power consumption Minimal environmental hazards and increased safety due to small volume “Scaling-out” or “numbering-up” instead of scaling-up

Multiphase Flows in mFluidic Systems Multiphase flows are important –Reactions – oxidation, hydrogenation, fluorination, … –Materials synthesis – crystallization, nanoparticles, colloids, … –Separation – extraction, gas-liquid separation, …. Performance = f(understanding and ability to manipulate) immiscible liquid-liquid gas-liquid liquid-solid gas-liquid-solid Klavs Jensen’s group at MIT S10

Review of gas-liquid, gas-liquid-solid contacting patterns and transport properties in micro- reactors - falling film - falling film on catalytic wall - overlapping channel and mesh micro reactor - micro bubble columns - foam micro-reactors - packed bed micro-reactor - wall cooled micro-reactor Improved mass and heat transfer coefficients, much larger interfacial area, controllable RTD, increased volumetric productivity, ease of scale-out Applications demonstrated in lab scale - direct fluorinations - oxidations with fluorine - chlorinations - sulphonations - hydrogenations Hessel et al, I&EC Research, 44, (2005) also presented at CAMURE-5 & ISMR-4

Disadvantages of Micro Reactors: Short residence times require fast reactions Fast reactions require very active catalysts that are stable (The two most often do not go together) Catalyst deactivation and frequent reactor repacking or reactivation Fouling and clogging of channels Leaks between channels Malfunctioning of distributors Reliability for long time on stream Challenge of overcoming inertia of the industry to embrace new technology for old processes Most likely implementation of micro-reactors in the near term: Consumer products Distributed small power systems Healthcare In situ preparation of hazardous and explosive chemicals
