CLEANLINESS AND SAFETY GUIDELINES
Cleanliness
The Chemical Reaction Engineering Laboratory contains equipment that uses water
or chemicals as the fluid. There are “housekeeping” rules that students are required to clean up
theirarea at the conclusion of the performance of an experiment. Cleanup will include
Removal of spilled water (or any liquid) or chemicals
Wiping the table top on which the equipment is mounted
The lab should always be as clean as or cleaner than it was when you entered.
Cleaning the lab is your responsibility as a user of the equipment.
Safety
This is to serve as a guide and not as a comprehensive manual on safety. Every
staff/student has, at all time, a duty to care for Health and Safety of himself/herself and
of all people who may be affected by his/her action.
Lab coat or Jackets MUST is worn all times.
Rubber gloves should be worn when handling corrosive materials,
Heat proof gauntlets when discharging any equipment involving heat.
Wear fully covered shoes with strong grip.
Goggles must be used whenever necessary especially when dealing with high
pressure equipment and chemicals
Sometimes the floor may be wet. Therefore, care is essential.
Always switch off power before removing plugs from sockets.
Cables mustbe suspended and not lying on the floor.
All cables and hoses should be routed to avoid walkways.
This should be disposed of in the glass bin, not in the usual waste bin.
Breakage should also be reported to the Instructor in charge.
Any appropriate instruction sheets should be studied before starting the experiment.
Particular attention should be given to the recommended precautions, startup procedure
and sequence of operation.
There should be NO Eating, No Smoking is strictly prohibited in all laboratories

Nomenclature
THEORY
Batch Reactors
Batch reactors are used for most of the reactions carried out in a laboratory as well as in the
industries. The reactants are placed in a test-tube, flask or beaker. They are mixed together, often
heated for the reaction to take place and are then cooled. The products are taken out and, if
necessary, purified carefully.
NaOH+CH3COOC2H5 CH3COONa+C2H5OH
Assuming that the initial concentrations are equal and that the converted concentration is X then
the final concentrations are
NaOH+CH3COOC2H5 CH3COONa+C2H5OH
a-X a-X X X
13
Order of reaction
The powers to which the concentrations are raised is called the order of the reaction. The order
refers to the empirically found rate expression, it can have a fractional value and need not be an
integer.
Second-order reaction
The simplest kind of second-order reaction is one whose rate is proportional to the square of the
concentration of one reactant. These generally have the form 2A → products. A second kind of
second-order reaction has a reaction rate that is proportional to the product of the concentrations
of two reactants. Such reactions generally have the form A + B → products.
From the kinetic analysis of a general second order reaction it can be shown that

Where k is the reaction rate constant, t is the time of reaction,a is the initial concentration of
sodium hydroxide and X is the conversion.

PROCEDURE:
Make 1 liter batches of 0.05 M of sodium hydroxide in the beaker and 0.05 M ethyl acetate
in the beaker to 20°C.
Adjust the set point of the temperature controller to 25°C.
Charge the batch reactor with 0.5 liter of of sodium hyroxide solution and ethyl acetate
solution through beaker.
The experiment involves the storage and collection of conductivity data, as the time pass
conductivity will decrease and note readings with the help of conductivity cell. The data
output port must be connected to data logger interface. This will enable data logging of the
conductivity at selected time intervals over a selected period. If computer is not available,
conductivity can be recorded manually at different time intervals by reading the value
directly from the conductivity meter in the console.
Collection of data will be until a steady state condition is reached in the Batch reactor and
this takes approximately 30 minutes by using stopwatch.
Switch on the chilled water circulator.
It has been determined that the degree of conversion of reagents affects the conductivity of the
reactor contents so that the readings of conductivity can be used to calculate the amount of
conversion.

PRECAUTIONS
1. Do not adjust the rpm of peristaltic pump during running position of the pump.
2. Do not stop the stirrer during the running of batch reactor during the process.
3. Do not change the volume in the beaker during experiment.
4. Put all the batch of your reactants in the reactor at once and take product from the reactor at
once.
ERRORS
1. There may be errors for not taking sample weight in correct amount.
2. There may be error in calibrating the peristaltic pump.
3. There may be error for feeding the batch within given time.
INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS:

Note down the observations, organize the data and tabularize the data.
To calulate the specific rate constant k, plot a graph of Xa and time. The slope of the graph
will be rate constant.
Also analyze the data. The conductivity measurements must now be translated into degree of
conversion of the constituents.

Both sodium hydroxide and sodium acetate contribute conductance to the reaction solution
while ethyl acetate and ethyl alcohol do not. The conductivity of a sodium hydroxide solution
at a given concentration and temperature is not same as that of a sodium acetate solution at the
same molarity and temperature and a relationship has been established allowing conversion to
be inferred from conductivity.

THEORY
Batch Reactor
Batch Reactors are defined as reactors in which no flow of mass across the reactor boundaries,
once the reactants have been charged.
4. The energy of each batch may vary as reaction proceeds; heat exchanger may be provided
to control temperature.
5. The reaction (residence) time for elements of the reacting fluid is the same.
6. The operation of the reactor is inherently unsteady-state; batch composition changes with
respect to time.
7. At any time, the batch is uniform in composition, temperature because of the efficient and
vigorous stirring

vessel, reactants generally undergo reaction faster and or more completely when mixed properly.
Mixing can influence not just reaction rate but also product distribution if more than one product
is possible.

PROCEDURE:Effect of Flowrate
Make 1 liter batches of 0.05 M of sodium hydroxide and 0.05 M ethyl acetate in the beaker.
Adjust the set point of the temperature controller to 20°C.
Run the perstaltic pump in order to flow the sodium hyroxide solution and ethyl acetate
solution into the reactor.
The experiment involves the storage and collection of conductivity data, the data output
port must be connected to data logger interface. This will enable data logging of the
conductivity at selected time intervals over a selected period. If computer is not available,
conductivity can be recorded manually at different time intervals by reading the value
directly from the conductivity meter in the console.
Collection of data will be until a steady state condition is reached in the reactor and this
takes approximately 30 minutes.
Switch on the chilled water circulator.
The experimental procedure is same with the exception that flow rates can be varied to
change the residence time of the reactants.
47
Calulate the degree of conversion of the reactants at steady state using the conductivity
readings for different values of Fa and Fb.
It has been determined that the degree of conversion of reagents affects the conductivity of the
reactor contents so that the readings of conductivity can be used to calculate the amount of
conversion.
PRECAUTIONS
4. Do not touch the chemicals while pouring them into the beakers
5. Do not not adjust the rpm of the pump before steady state has been achieved.
6. Do not start and then stop stirrer during the reaction completion.
ERRORS
4. There may be error for solution concentration it may be different concentration than
required.
5. There may be error of calibrating of pump.
6. There may be error in conductivity cell readings.
INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS:
Record the conductivity of the contents of the reactor over the period of the reaction, the
conductivity measurements must now be translated into degree of conversion of the constituents.

THOERY
Batch Reactors
Batch reactors are used for most of the reactions carried out in a laboratory as well as in the
industry. The reactants are placed in a test-tube, flask or beaker. They are mixed together, often
heated for the reaction to take place and are then cooled. The products are taken out and, if
necessary, purified carefully. This procedure is also carried out in industry, the key difference
being one of size of reactor and the quantities of reactants.
Problems of batch reactor
During loading and after unloading some concentration of the reactants as well as product may
remain in the reactor which may cause following problem.
1. It may reduce next product batch purity.
2. It may cause the wastage of chemicals to clean the previous batch.
3. It may cause the fouling on the internal part of the reactor.
REACTION:
NaOH+CH3COOC2H5 CH3COONa+C2H5OH

EXPERIMENT 10
To find the reaction rate constant in a tubular reactor and study the effect of flowrate on
rate of reaction.
THEORY
Plug Flow Reactors (PFR) are defined to be flow reactors characterized by the absence of mixing
in the direction of flow and absence of variation normal to the direction of flow.
1. The flow through the vessel(s), both input and out streams, is continuous but not necessary
at a constant rate.
3. The density of the flowing system may vary in the direction of flow.
4. There is no axial mixing of fluid inside the reactor, composition changes along the flow
direction.
5. There is complete radial mixing of fluid inside the reactor; uniform fluid properties along
the direction normal to flow direction.
6. The energy may vary as reaction proceeds; heat exchanger may be provided to control
temperature.
7. The reaction (residence) time for elements of the reacting fluid is the same.
REACTION:
NaOH+CH3COOC2H5 CH3COONa+C2H5OH

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Small Spills: Wear personal protective equipment. Sweep up but avoid generating dust. Contain
solutions using sand or diatomaceous earth. Collect and seal in properly labeled drums. Wash remaining
Large Spills:
PRECAUTIONS Restrict access to area. Clear area of unprotected personnel. Provide adequate
protective equipment and ventilation. Remove chemicals which can react with the spilled material. Spills
CLEANUP Contain spill or leak. Do not allow entry into sewers or waterways.
Neutralise the final traces and flush area with water. Spilled solutions should be contained by dyking
with inert material, such as sand or earth. Solutions can be recovered or carefully diluted with water
and cautiously neutralised with acids such as acetic acid or hydrochloric acid.
DISPOSAL Federal, state and local regulations should be reviewed prior to disposal. May be possible
to neutralise, dilute and flush the material into a sewer. May be possible to atomise dilute solutions in
HANDLING Avoid generating mist or spray. When diluting solution, add sodium hydroxide to water
in small amounts. Heat evolved when dissolving may cause boiling and spattering. Add to large
volumes of cold water only. Label containers. Keep containers closed when not in use. Empty containers
66
may contain residues which are hazardous. Use smallest possible amounts in designated areas with
adequate ventilation. Have emergency equipment (for fires, spills, leaks, etc.) readily available.
STORAGE CONDITIONS Materials that react violently with sodium hydroxide should not be stored
in the same area. Use corrosion-resistant structural materials and lighting and ventilation systems in the
storage area. Store in suitable labelled containers. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use and
when empty. Protect from damage. Containers made of nickel alloys are preferred. Steel containers are
acceptable if temperatures are not elevated. Storage tanks should be above ground and surrounded with
dykes capable of holding entire contents. Limit quantity of material in storage. Restrict access to storage
area. Post warning signs when appropriate. Keep storage area separate from populated work areas.
Class 8 goods are not to be loaded with Classes 1, 4.3, 5.1, 5.2, 6*, 7, or foodstuffs or foodstuff empties.
* when Class 6 is a cyanide and Class 8 is an acid. Do not store or transport with strong acids.
Engineering control methods to reduce hazardous exposures are preferred. General methods include
mechanical ventilation, (dilution and general exhaust), process or personnel enclosure, control of
process conditions and process modification (e.g. substitution of a less hazardous material).
Administrative controls and personal protective equipment may be also required. Use a corrosion-
67
resistant ventilation system separate from other exhaust ventilation systems. Exhaust directly to the
outside. Use local exhaust ventilation, and process enclosure if necessary, to control airborne spray /
mists. Supply sufficient air to make up for air removed by exhaust systems.

Acute Effects:
Ingestion:
71
There are no reported cases of industrial workers ingesting sodium hydroxide or its solutions. Should
ingestion occur, severe pain; burning of the mouth, throat and oesophagus; vomiting; diarrhoea; collapse
and possible
Eye contact:
Extremely corrosive. Can penetrate deeply causing irritation or severe burns depending on the
concentration and duration of exposure. In severe cases, ulceration and permanent blindness may occur.
Skin contact:
Extremely corrosive. Capable of causing severe burns with deep ulceration. Can penetrate to deeper
layers of skin. Corrosion will continue until removed. Severity depends on concentration and duration
of exposure. Burns are not immediately painful; onset of pain may be minutes to hours.
Inhalation:
Effects of inhaling sodium hydroxide mists have not been clearly established. Most references indicate
that irritation of the nose, throat and lungs would occur due to the corrosive nature of sodium hydroxide.
However, there are no actual reports of industrial workers exposed to sodium hydroxide experiencing
these symptoms.
HEALTH EFFECTS There have been no documented effects due to long-term exposure to
sodium hydroxide.
CARCINOGENICITY Sodium hydroxide has been implicated as a cause of cancer of the oesophagus
in individuals who have ingested it. The cancer may develop 12 to 42 years after the ingestion incident.
72
Similar cancers have been observed at the sites of severe thermal burns. These cancers may be due to
tissue destruction and scar formation rather than the sodium hydroxide itself. Not classed as a
