Safe operating conditions for semibatch processes involving consecutive reactions with autocatalytic behavior

摘要

When strongly exothermic chemical processes are dealt with, safe and productive operating conditions may be difficult to identify; particularly if the reaction scheme is complex and the desired product is an intermediate. In this work, a new procedure for building boundary and temperature diagrams is developed to account for arbitrary kinetic expressions and multiple reactions. Such a procedure has been validated by comparison with literature experimental data involving autocatalytic consecutive reactions.
