Reactors and Kinetics

Kinetics

- Homogeneous reactions: Equilibrium and kinetics
- Heterogeneous reactions: Adsorption, surface reactions, kinetics
- Catalysis: Transport limitations, effectiveness, heat effects, catalyst deactivation

Reactors

- Brief review of conversion and selectivity in ideal reactor types
- Energy balance and isothermal/non-isothermal reactors
- Non-ideal reactors and residence time distribution
- Fixed-bed reactors: Transport limitations
- Advanced reactors such as fluidised-bed reactors and/or reactors used in industry
