The overall reaction involves a combination of parallel and consecutive reactions involving equilibrium noncatalytic (homogeneous) and catalytic (heterogeneous) steps. For the purpose of kinetic modeling, the effects of PPDA concentration, catalyst loading, agitation speed, and partial pressure of hydrogen were studied in a temperature range of 373-413 K. Quantitative criteria were used to ensure that the reaction occurred in the kinetic regime. Different rate equations have been considered based on the elementary steps involving catalytic and noncatalytic reactions, which lay stress on the different types of interactions occurring between the reactants and the active catalyst sites. The best-fit rate model has been proposed by rigorous optimization and model discrimination procedures, by simulating the experimental concentration-time data. For the best-fit model, the agreement between the predicted and experimental data was found to be very good over a wide range of operating conditions.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2.567</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chaudhari, Amit S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rampure, Mohan R.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ranade, Vivek V.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jaganathan, Rengaswamy</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chaudhari, Raghunath V.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Modeling of bubble column slurry reactor for reductive alkylation of p-phenylenediamine</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chemical Engineering Science</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">bubble columns</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CFD</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">kinetics</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mathematical modeling</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Reductive alkylation</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2007</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DEC</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">24, SI</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, ENGLAND</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">62</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7290-7304</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;A bubble column slurry reactor (BCSR) model has been developed for the reductive alkylation of p-phenylenediamine (PPDA) with methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) to N, N'-di-secondary-alkyl-p-phenylenediamine (Di-amine). This particular reaction system is commercially relevant and involves a combination of parallel and consecutive reactions comprising equilibrium non-catalytic (homogeneous) and catalytic (heterogeneous) steps. The proposed model is based on the `mixing cell approach'. In this work the mixing cell approach has been extended by including a liquid backflow stream from all but the bottommost mixing cell. The model incorporates the contributions of gas-liquid and liquid-solid mass transfer, heat effects, and complex multistep reaction kinetics. CFD model is used to estimate the extent of backflow among mixing cells and its dependence on operating parameters. The effect of gas and liquid velocities, catalyst loading, inlet PPDA concentration, and temperature on the conversion, selectivity, global rate of hydrogenation, and temperature rise is discussed. The comparison of the current approach with the traditional mixing cell model is discussed. The BCSR model presented here will be useful to provide guidelines for designing and improving overall performance of bubble column reactors. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.

It was observed that the PDA isomers differ remarkably from each other in their activity in reductive alkylation and product distribution. The activity was found to decrease in the following order: PPDA &amp;gt; OPDA &amp;gt; MPDA. To understand the substrate structure-activity correlation, the homogeneous equilibrium reactions involved in the alkylation step and the overall catalytic reactions were studied separately. Kinetics of reductive alkylation of PDAs with MEK as a solvent and alkylating agent with 3% Pt/Al(2)O(3) catalyst was studied in a semi-batch slurry reactor over a temperature range of 373-453K and pressure range of 2.07-6.21 MPa. Semi-batch slurry reactor models were developed and kinetic parameters were estimated by fitting the integral batch reactor data at different temperatures to understand the influence of different reaction steps on the activity and selectivity of different products.
