Silver Nanoparticles for Ultrasonic Assisted Synthesis of Oxidant Agents in Micro-Reactor: Kinetic Analysis and Process Intensification

Abstract:

Chemical engineering frequently uses "process intensification" to consciously combine various phenomena or procedures. By treating the molecules in such a system in a way that every single molecule experiences the same processing, the selectivity is raised, enhancing productivity. For mass transfer limited reactions, the enhancement of the transport rates & the specific interfacial area are the typical approaches. These enable the reduction of diffusion path length, reduce hold-up and improve the controlling on temperature control, even for highly exothermic reactions. Micro reactor technology (MRT) is a subset of process intensification that aims to reduce the size of equipment, energy consumption, and waste generation. The research of peracetic acid (PAA) and perform acid (PFA) preparation is the focus of the current investigation. Amberlite IR-120H catalyst was used to study the synthesis of PAA and PFA in batch and micro-structured reactors while ultrasonic irradiations were present.. The current research describes a method for synthesizing both compounds in a batch and micro-structured reactors, with and without ultrasonic irradiation. Such a technology might be crucial in the online synthesis of these chemicals as it eliminates the need for harmful components to be transported and stored, assuring safety among other benefits. For these substances, various safety characteristics could be improved.
