the steps taken in designing a loop reactor for bulk propylene polymerization are discussed. the roles played by several parameters like particle growth factor, catalyst activity and solid fraction on reactor volume at different operating conditions are investigated. at first, based on a fixed production capacity and specific rate of catalyst, reactor volume is determined. next, the length and ...

A system of softwares was developed in order to aid chemical reactor operation and design, as a tool to define operational policies and support process engineers. A C++ software, using artificial intelligence techniques, acts as an Expert System, guiding the user throughout reactor simulation and providing results in an easily comprehensible form. A Fortran software was used to simulate a react...

Carbonation of magnesiumand calcium-silicate minerals to form their respective carbonates is one method to sequester carbon dioxide. Process development studies have identified reactor design as a key component affecting both the capital and operating costs of ex-situ mineral sequestration. Results from mineral carbonation studies conducted in a batch autoclave were utilized to design and const...
