Desired reactions Non-desired reactions (side reactions) Often multiple reactions Example: Methanol synthesis CO + 2H2 W CH3OH (desired reaction) CO2 + H2 W CO + H2O (side reaction) Parallel reaction with respect to hydrogen Consecutive reaction with respect to CO

Stoichiometric matrix - example
CO + 2H2 = CH3OH CO2 + H2 = CO + H2O (1) (2) -1 CO - 2 H2 + 1CH3OH = 0 - 1CO2 -1 H2 + 1CO + 1H2O = 0
14
Reaction kinetics Reaction rate R (mol/s m3) gives how many moles of substance is generated /time/volume Important to know the difference between elementary and non-elementary reactions Elementary reaction reflects directly the events, collisions on the molecular level
15
Rate expressions 2A + B = 2C If the reaction is elementary:
The construction of rate expressions for elementary reactions is straightforward and can be done automatically by a computer; just the stoichiometric matrix is needed as an input
16
Component generation rate ri
For methanol synthesis reaction rH2 = - 2 R och rCH3OH = +1 R Systems with many reactions and components rH2 = -2R1 - 1R2 rCH3OH = +1 R1 + 0 R2
