LECTURE OUTLINE
INTERPRETATION OF
BATCH REACTOR DATA
METHODS OF ANALYSIS OF
BATCH REACTOR DATA
Batch Reactor
mainly used for small scale
operation
suitable for slow reactions
mainly used for liquid-phase
reaction
charge-in/clean-up times can be
large

How do we get this value
from CA vs t data?
1. Graphical differentiation
2. Numerical differentiation
Equal area graphical differentiation : Draw a smooth curve that best approximates
the area under the histogram.

Half lives
Half life of reaction, t1/2: time taken for the reactant concentration to
fall to half of its initial value
For example,
y = c+m x
