Differential kinetic test unit

摘要

A differential kinetic test unit tests chemical reaction parameters. Reaction media is inserted into a vessel through a reactant feed conduit. A reaction outlet mechanism removes liquid and vapor reaction components from the vessel. A motor rotates a reaction shaft which extends into the reaction media within the vessel. A mixing impeller is fixed to the reaction shaft and is positioned within the reaction media. A catalyst frame positions a catalyst container holding a catalyst with the catalyst container being immersed in the reaction media. Reaction media is drawn through the catalyst and the reacted media is passed through the reaction outlet mechanism for testing of the chemical reaction parameters.

1. A differential kinetic test unit for determining chemical reaction parameters comprising:
(a) a vessel for insert of reaction media through a reactant feed conduit; (b) a reaction outlet mechanism for removal of liquid and vapor reaction components; (c) a motor located external said vessel for rotating a motor shaft and a reaction shaft extending into said reaction media contained within said vessel; (d) a mixing impeller fixed to said reaction shaft, said mixing impeller being positioned within said reaction media; (e) a catalyst frame for positioning at least one catalyst container containing a catalyst, said catalyst container being at least partially immersed in said reaction media, said reaction media being drawn through said catalyst whereby reacted media is withdrawn through said reaction outlet mechanism for testing of said chemical reaction parameters; and (f) a vertically extending flow tube at least partially immersed in said reaction media, said catalyst frame being mounted to an inner wall of said flow tube, said flow tube including:
(a1) an upper section having said mixing impeller positioned therein,(a2) a central section having said catalyst frame and said catalyst positioned therein, said central section having a reaction media flow cross-sectional area less than the reaction media flow-cross-sectional area of said flow tube upper section; and(a3) a lower section for insert of said reaction media into said flow tube responsive to rotation of said mixing impeller.
