The effect of hydrogenation conditions on rate of hydrogenation of rape seed oil was studied in a laboratory stirred tank reactor of 250 ml volume, with nickel on kieselguhr catalyst within the range of conditions (150 ⪬ t(°C) ⪬ 190), (0.1 ⪬ P(MPa) ⪬ 1.0), and (0.01 ⪬ cNi(%) ⪬ 0.37). On the basis of these results a comparison of the effect of a Venturi tube and single pipe gas inlet as gas distributors on hydrogenation rate was made in a bench scale unit of 5 l volume.

Novel analytical methods for quantitive determination of analytes based on perturbations of oscillatory chemical reactions realized under open reactor conditions (continuosly fed well stirred tank reactor, CSTR), have been developed in the past twenty years. The proposed kinetic methods are generally based on the ability of the analyzed substances to change the kinetics of the chemical reactions matrix. The unambiguous correlation of quantitative characteristics of perturbations, and the amount (concentration) of analyte expressed as a regression equation, or its graphics (calibration curve), enable the determination of the unknown analyte concentration. Attention is given to the development of these methods because of their simple experimental procedures, broad range of linear regression ( 10-7 10-4 mol L-1) and low limits of detection of analytes ( 10-6 10-8 mol L1, in some cases even lower than 10-12 mol L-1). Therefore, their application is very convenient for routine analysis of various inorganic and organic compounds as well as gases. This review summarizes progress made in the past 5 years on quantitative determination of pharmaceutically and biologically important compounds.


Due to the increase in the demand for an alternate fuel the research studies towards searching for a low cost source and optimum conditions with new reactors were gaining momentum. Hence the present investigation is focused on the design of a batch stirred tank reactor with two different impellers to produce biodiesel with the use of rubber seed oil. Further an experiment was conducted in optimizing the process parameters using Taguchi methodology. The Taguchi methodology is mainly focused on the enhancement of the product produced and this is the most precise method used. The best combinations were obtained through the L9 orthogonal array. The reactor specifications were fixed to be 7.5cm. height, 7.5cm diameter, 2.5 cm agitator diameter, 0.625cm baffle thickness with 2.5cm as distance between bottom of the tank and impeller. Two impellers with 0.5cm. Width, 0.625cm length and others with 1.1cm length were used to test the individual performance towards yield. The optimum conditions obtained were found to be Impeller typeStraight blade impeller, Temperature- 65ºC, Time - 45min, Reactant ratio - 1:6, Catalyst amount- 22.46% (mol% of Oil), and Impeller Speed- 500rpm with the yield of 88 % . Hence BSTR reactors could be scaled up for translational research studies too.
