Method of Excess

• Batch reactors are used primarily to determine rate-law parameters for homogeneous
reactions.

• This determination is usually achieved by measuring concentration as a function of


time and then using either the integral, differential, or nonlinear regression method
of data analysis to determine the reaction order, α, and specific reaction-rate
constant, k.

• If some reaction parameter other than concentration is monitored, such as pressure,


the mole balance must be rewritten in terms of the measured variable (e.g., pressure)
11
Method of Excess

• For irreversible reaction: to determine the reaction order and the specific rate
constant by either nonlinear regression or by numerically differentiating
concentration versus time data.

• This latter method is most applicable when reaction conditions are such that the rate
is essentially a function of the concentration of only one reactant; for example, if, for
the decomposition reaction: A → Products

Differential method may


−rA = k A CAα
be used.

Method of Excess

13
Integral Method

• A quickest method used to determine the rate law if the order turns out to zero, first,
or second order.

• In the integral method, we guess the reaction order, α, in the combined batch reactor
mole balance and rate law equation:

dCA
= −kCAα
dt

• and integrate the differential equation to obtain the concentration as a function of


time.

14
Integral Method

• If the order we assume is correct, the appropriate plot (determined from this
integration) of the concentration–time data should be linear.

• The integral method is used most often when the reaction order is known, and it is
desired to evaluate the specific reaction rate constant at different temperatures to
determine the activation energy.

It is important to know how to generate linear plots of functions of versus t for


zero-, first-, and second-order reactions.
