A liquid–liquid test reaction system involving mass transfer with competitive reactions was used to show the potential for Process Intensification of the rotor–stator Spinning Disk Reactor (rs-SDR) in comparison with batch operation in a Stirred Vessel (SV). Under the investigated conditions, the SV showed a dispersion of droplets of a Sauter diameter between 120 and , while the rs-SDR achieved values between 35 and due to the high shear forces. In terms of selectivity towards the undesired product, , the SV showed a decrease from to by increasing agitation, while the rs-SDR achieved values from to . By modeling the system, the corresponding values for overall volumetric mass transfer coefficient were one order of magnitude higher in the rs-SDR and as high as . However, such values are much lower than the expected from the small droplet size. Literature suggests that the system is mass transfer limited, due to the formation of a monolayer of undissociated molecules around the interface. A model of diffusion with reaction is used to further model such effect. The model predicts well the product distribution experimentally obtained in the SV, although underestimates the values from the rs-SDR.

转子-定子旋转圆盘反应器中的液滴尺寸和液-液传质反应
包含传质和竞争反应的液-液测试反应系统用于显示与搅拌容器(SV)中的分批操作相比,转子-定子旋转盘式反应器(rs-SDR)的工艺强化的潜力。在研究的条件下,SV表现出Sauter直径的液滴分散 120至 ,而rs-SDR的值介于35和 由于高剪切力。就对不良产品的选择性而言,,SV较 至 通过增加搅动,而rs-SDR达到了 至 。通过对系统建模,总体积传质系数的相应值 在rs-SDR中高出一个数量级,甚至高达 。但是,这些值比小液滴尺寸所期望的值低得多。文献表明,由于界面周围未离解分子的单层形成,该系统受传质限制。具有反应的扩散模型用于进一步模拟这种效应。尽管低估了rs-SDR的值,但是该模型很好地预测了通过SV实验获得的产品分布。
