Flow-Methods

In flow studies of fast reactions streams of two reactant solutions are forced under pressure to meet in a mixing chamber, from which the mixed solution passes to an [Pg.177]

Continuous flow devices have undergone careful development, and mixing chambers are very efficient. Mixing is essentially complete in about 1 ms, and half-lives as short as 1 ms may be measured. An interesting advantage of the continuous flow method, less important now than earlier, is that the analytical method need not have a fast response, since the concentrations are at steady state. Of course, the slower the detection method, the greater the volumes of reactant solutions that will be consumed. In 1923 several liters of solution were required, but now reactions can be studied with 10-100 mL. [Pg.178]

Two techniques conceptually related to classical continuous flow make use of different injection methods. In one of these a reactant solution formed into a highspeed jet is injected through a sheet or film of the second solution. The jet speed is 40 ms , and the mixing time is 1 p.s. [Pg.178]

In the second technique, two streams of microdroplets (about 100 p.m diameter, 40 kHz generation frequency, 15 ms velocity) collide to form a single droplet stream, which is observed by Raman spectroscopy. The mixing time is 200 p.s. [Pg.178]

The dead time is typically 3-5 ms. so stopped flow is not quite as fast as continuous flow, but it requires less than a milliliter of each solution per run. Methods have been described for measuring the dead time these are based upon standard reactions whose kinetic behavior is well known. The error introduced by collecting data before mixing is complete can be corrected. [Pg.179]

There are two principal methods of obtaining high-pressure vapour-liquid equilibrium data, the flow method and static method. These methods are extensions of the principles used at, or near, atmospheric pressure. However, the details and materials of construction of the apparatus are often very different. We will not be concerned with the details of standard high-pressure equipment as reviews and books on this subject are available. [Pg.83]

The other type of flow system is the vapour recirculation method. In this method a two-phase mixture is placed in a vessel at a specific temperature. Vapour is then withdrawn from the cell and recirculated through the liquid. This contact between vapour and liquid provides a fairly rapid approach to equilibrium. Again after equilibrium is reached samples of gas and liquid are withdrawn and analysed. Some provision is usually made to keep the pressure constant during sampling. [Pg.83]

Comprehensive discussions of flow methods are available in the literature. There are basically three ways in which the reaction solution may be treated after mixing (Fig. 3.2 and Table 3.2) [Pg.136]

A jet emerging from a nonciicular orifice is mechanically unstable, not only with respect to the eventual breakup into droplets discussed in Section II-3, but, more immediately, also with respect to the initial cross section not being circular. Oscillations develop in the Jet since the momentum of the liquid carries it past the desired circular cross section. This is illustrated in Fig. 11-20. [Pg.33]

The mathematical treatment was first developed by Lord Rayleigh in 1879, and a more exact one by Bohr has been reviewed by Sutherland [103], who gives the formula [Pg.33]

For times below about 5 msec a correction must be made to allow for the fact that the surface velocity of the liquid in the nozzle is zero and takes several wavelengths to increase to the jet velocity after emerging from the nozzle. Correction factors have been tabulated [107, 108] see also Ref. 109. [Pg.34]

The oscillating jet method is not suitable for the study of liquid-air interfaces whose ages are in the range of tenths of a second, and an alternative method is based on the dependence of the shape of a falling column of liquid on its surface tension. Since the hydrostatic head, and hence the linear velocity, increases with h, the distance away from the nozzle, the cross-sectional area of the column must correspondingly decrease as a material balance requirement. The effect of surface tension is to oppose this shrinkage in cross section. The method is discussed in Refs. 110 and 111. A related method makes use of a falling sheet of liquid [112]. [Pg.34]

Another oscillatory method makes use of a drop acoustically levitated in a liquid. The drop is made to oscillate in shape, and the interfacial tension can be calculated from the resonance frequency [113]. [Pg.34]

Examples of this type of study are the pyrolysis of hydrocarbons ana other organic compounds carried out by Szwarc and coworkers. By confining the total extent of reaction to a few per cent, it was found possible to study the primary reactions occurring in what is normally a very complicated system. Thus in the gas-phase pyrolysis of toluene the stages of the reaction may be represented by [Pg.61]

If the reaction products are permitted to accumulate, then the reactive H atoms and CH3 radicals will react further with them and the complexity of reactions and number of products increase. [Pg.61]

There are many difficulties involved in the use of the flow method, the chief one being the difficulty of defining the reaction time and the reaction temperature. The reaction time is calculated from the rate of flow of the reactants through the system and the length of the reactor zone. This assumes, however, that the gas comes to the reactor temperature immedi- [Pg.61]

For the foregoing reasons flow methods are poor means of obtaining precise data in gas systems. On the other hand, the methods are very useful in the study of heterogeneous reactions in which the reaction zone is fairly well limited to the catalyst surface and the chief problem is one of diffusion from the gas phase (or solution) to the catalyst surface. In the case of liquid-phase reactions the method has been employed, although it usually requires almost prohibitively large amounts of solvent. Finally [Pg.62]

The advantages of this method are that the apparatus is simple and that analysis of the quenched solution can be done without time constraints. The disadvantages are the sometimes tedious analysis of many samples and the consumption of substantial amounts of reagents for each kinetic run. The method has been used especially for isotope exchange reactions where the subsequent analysis of isotopic content is a slow process. [Pg.423]

For reactions with half-times in the 10-ms to 60-s range, stopped flow is the most popular technique, and several commercial instruments are available. [Pg.423]

The experimentally recorded time, equals zero when the stopping syringe triggers the observation, and the actual time, t, is related to and the deadtime, d by [Pg.424]

The situation is more complex for studies under second-order conditions because the reagent concentrations at the true zero time must be known. Meagher and Rorabacher have analyzed the second-order system of reactants A + B coming to equilibrium with products C + D and have given [Pg.425]

From the experimental point of view, the biggest challenge is to choose the technique which is best adapted to the system that we are trying to study, considering parameters such as the nature of the reactants, rate constants, temperature, solvent, etc. For the reaction under study, it is important to clarify whether this leads to equilibrium between reactants and products, or if it is, effectively, irreversible. In addition, is the product formed stable or not, and what type of reactants, intermediates and products are involved (ions, free radicals, excited states, etc) The choice of the experimental method will also depend on the order of magnitude expected for the rate constant, the type of solvent used and the analytical techniques available to study reactants, products, etc. In addition, since some of these techniques use rather expensive apparatus, this will also depend upon the availability of the equipment.

The anomalous behavior of quinazoline was first discovered by Albert et who made the surprising observation that 4-methyl-quinazoline 2.5) was a weaker base than quinazoline (pA 3.5). Mason then observed that the ultraviolet spectrum of the quinazoline cation was abnormal but that the spectrum of 4-methylquin-azoline was normal (see Fig. 2). These anomalies led to the suggestion that water adds covalently to the cation of quinazoline to give 12 (R = H). The occurrence and position of hydration were confirmed by a detailed study of the ultraviolet and infrared spectra of the anhydrous and hydrated hydrochlorides and by mild oxidation of the cation to 4(3 )-quinazolinone. Using the rapid-reaction technique (the continuous-flow method), the spectrum of the unstable... [Pg.20]

Most substituents (Q, Me, OMe) in the 2-position have only a small effect, if any, on the hydration of the quinazoline cation they are similar in this respect to substituents in the 5-, 6-, and 8-positions (see above). Although hydration in the 2-aminoquinazoline cation was at first considered absent,a closer examination of the entire spectra of both species indicated that the cation spectrum may be that of a mixture. Hydration in the cation has now been confirmed by the rapid-reaction technique (the stopped-flow method) which showed that the unstable hydrated neutral species had a half-life of 4.0 sec at 20° and pH 9.60. The 2-hydroxyquinazoline cation has not been studied, but... [Pg.21]

The stopped-flow and quenched-flow methods for fast reactions involve the fast flowing together of separate solutions of the reactants. This rapid mixing can be coupled to a rapid-response method for monitoring the progress of the reaction. With such methods one can determine rate constants up to about 5 X 102 s 1 (i.e., t n > 1 ms). The instrumentation for stopped-flow kinetics is readily available commercially. With special adaptations, one can gain another one or two orders of magnitude. [Pg.254]

Revisions of the continuous-flow method have been made to allow observations along the length of the flow tube rather than at right angles.5 This method, fast continuous flow, eliminates the dead time during which the reaction cannot be observed. Kinetic data can be extracted to a time resolution of nearly 10 p,s, but the mathematics is more complicated in this limit, because the mixing and chemical reaction occur on the same time scale. Rate constants nearly as large as the diffusion-controlled value have been determined in favorable cases.6... [Pg.256]

NMR spectroscopy finds a number of applications in chemical kinetics. One of these is its application as an analytical tool for slow reactions. In this method the integrated area of a reactant, intermediate, or product is determined intermittently as the reaction progresses. Such determinations are straightforward and will not concern us further, except to note that the use of an internal standard improves the accuracy. With flow mixing, one may examine even more rapid reactions. This is simply overflow application of the stopped-flow method. [Pg.261]
