CONTRIBUTION TO THE ANALYSIS OF THE SELECTIVITY OF GAS-LIQUID REACTIONS PART II: COMPARISON OF EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS WITH MODEL PREDICTIONS

The chlorination of paracresol is used in an experimental study of selectivity in gas-liquid contactors. Experiments in a batch reactor show the influence on selectivity of the dimensionless numbers presented in Part I and involving competition between mass transfer and chemical reaction together with the hydrodynamics. The extension of open reactor model presented in Part 1 to the batch reactor permits a comparison between theory and experiments and shows a good agreement
