STUDYING OF THE MODEL OF NON-IDEAL TUBULAR REACTOR FOR PRODUCTION PROPYLENE GLYCOL

Abstract

Propylene glycol is a versatile chemical substance that finds extensive application across multiple industrial domains. Its production requires a detailed understanding of reactor kinetics and architecture in order to be manufactured efficiently. This work simulates a non-ideal tubular reactor in an effort to clarify the intricacies involved in the manufacture of propylene glycol. The study explores the principles of tubular reactors, the kinetics and mechanisms of the synthesis of propylene glycol, and the modelling of reactor behaviour that is not ideal. Moreover, experimental analysis and validation are carried out to guarantee the created model's accuracy. The research also outlines future developments and optimisation techniques for the production of propylene glycol. The key to successful and long-lasting propylene glycol synthesis is a deep comprehension of non-ideal reactor behaviour. Improving the manufacturing process's dependability, sustainability, and efficiency is the aim of the non-ideal tubular reactor model investigation. Comprehending the attributes of imperfect reactors, refining reactor blueprints, optimising operational circumstances, and guaranteeing precise modelling for pragmatic implementations are all part of this process. The report also looks at future developments in the manufacture of propylene glycol and sustainability issues
