General Description
The Computer Controlled Batch Reactor for QRC, "QRDC", designed by EDIBON, enables the study and kinetic analysis of homogeneous liquid-liquid reactions, as well as the demonstration of adiabatic and isothermal reactions.
This unit offers a wide range of opportunities for investigating reaction kinetics, ranging from sensor calibration to the formulation of velocity equations and the determination of ionic conductivities. Its ability to operate in both batch and continuous modes facilitates detailed analysis of effects such as mixing, variation of kinetic constants with temperature, and comparison of theoretical and experimental data.
Moreover, the discontinuous reactor is ideal for studying various chemical reactions, such as chemical synthesis, precipitation, neutralization, and oxidation-reduction. It also allows for demonstrating the impact of different reaction parameters, such as reactant concentration, temperature, and reaction time. Especially in adiabatic reactions, where there is no heat transfer with the surroundings, the adiabatic discontinuous reactor ensures ideal conditions for studying reactions in detail.
To work with this reactor, the Base and Service Unit, "QUSC", is required, which supplies the necessary reagents and thermostatic water for proper operation.
These Computer Controlled Units are supplied with EDIBON Computer Control System (SCADA), and includes: The unit itself + a Control Interface Box + a Data Acquisition Board + Computer Control, Data Acquisition and Data Management Software Packages, for controlling the process and all parameters involved in the process.
