Abstract

The kinetics of methanol hydrochlorination in an alumina-coated microreactor was studied. As starting point for the kinetic modelling, a classical Langmuir approach was used. Kinetic modeling results correlated well with the experimental results, with relative errors < 2% for the kinetic constants. The data obtained in the microreactor will be expanded with that from a tubular reactor. In this way, the performance of the two reactors can be compared and the conversion as well as the selectivity at higher residence time is obtained. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the CHISA 2012 - 20th International Congress of Chemical and Process Engineering and PRES 2012 - 15th Conference PRES (Prague, Czech Republic 8/25-29/2012).
