Notes:
A reaction process occurring simultaneously with an extraction by an immiscible phase is referred to herein as extractive reaction.Quantitative relations are developed which show how the rate of reaction, volumetric efficiency, and reactant conversion of a single-phase batch reaction can be enhanced by deliberately adding to the batch a second phase such as an immiscible solvent or an inert gas.Analytical solutions are also obtained for continuous-flow extractive reactions of first order and of simple or complex stoichiometry occurring in single- or multistage stirred-tank reactors. The effect of recirculated or side streams is included.Dilute systems and several types of reactions are considered. The equations are applicable, for instance, to liquid-liquid systems and solid-liquid or gas-liquid processes wherein reaction occurs in either the vapor or condensed phase.
