The performance of a chromatographic reactor in the presence of phase split and multiple convective phases is assessed theoretically. For this purpose, an equilibrium theory model is established, accounting for adsorption, two-phase flow, and a reversible reaction with negligible kinetic limitations. The model is solved for an exemplary esterification system, yielding n-hexyl-acetate and water as products. Evaluating the batch elution behavior under standard single phase and novel two-phase flow conditions, it is found that pure products can be achieved in both cases and that the two-phase flow behavior can positively affect the separation performance.

色谱反应器中两相流的理论评估

理论上评估了在存在相分离和多个对流相的情况下色谱反应器的性能。为此，建立了一个平衡理论模型，该模型考虑了吸附，两相流以及可忽略的动力学极限的可逆反应。解决了该模型的示例性酯化系统，生成乙酸正己酯和水作为产物。评价在标准单相和新型两相流动条件下的间歇洗脱行为，发现在两种情况下均可以得到纯净的产物，并且两相流动行为可以对分离性能产生积极影响。
