  2. Damköhler numbers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damköhler_numbers

    The residence time scale can take the form of a convection time scale, such as volumetric flow rate through the reactor for continuous (plug flow or stirred tank) or semibatch chemical processes: D a I = reaction rate convective mass transport rate {\displaystyle \mathrm {Da_{\mathrm {I} }} ={\frac {\text{reaction rate}}{\text{convective mass ...

  3. Continuous production - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_production

    Continuous production is a flow production method used to manufacture, produce, or process materials without interruption.Continuous production is called a continuous process or a continuous flow process because the materials, either dry bulk or fluids that are being processed are continuously in motion, undergoing chemical reactions or subject to mechanical or heat treatment.

  4. Flow chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_chemistry

    If these fluids are reactive, a reaction takes place. Flow chemistry is a well-established technique for use at a large scale when manufacturing large quantities of a given material. However, the term has only been coined recently for its application on a laboratory scale by chemists and describes small pilot plants, and lab-scale continuous ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photomultiplier_Tube

    The device achieved gains of 1000x or more when demonstrated in June 1934. The work was submitted for print publication only two years later, in July 1936 [11] as emphasized in a recent 2006 publication of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS), [12] which terms it "Kubetsky's Tube." The Soviet device used a magnetic field to confine the ...

  6. Stopped-flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stopped-flow

    Diagram of continuous flow spectrometer for reactions with half times of a few milliseconds. The stopped-flow method evolved from the continuous-flow technique developed by Hamilton Hartridge and Francis Roughton [7] to study the binding of oxygen to hemoglobin. In the continuous-flow system, the reaction mixture was passed through a long tube ...

  7. Catalytic reforming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalytic_reforming

    Continuous Catalytic reforming (CCR) unit In addition to a gasoline blending stock, reformate is the main source of aromatic bulk chemicals such as benzene , toluene , xylene and ethylbenzene , which have diverse uses, most importantly as raw materials for conversion into plastics.

  8. Process chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_chemistry

    Many varied classes of naturally occurring enzymes have been co-opted and engineered for process pharmaceutical chemistry applications. The widest range of applications come from ketoreductases and transaminases, but there are isolated examples from hydrolases, aldolases, oxidative enzymes, esterases and dehalogenases, among others.

    Also acid ionization constant or acidity constant. A quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution expressed as an equilibrium constant for a chemical dissociation reaction in the context of acid-base reactions. It is often given as its base-10 cologarithm, p K a. acid–base extraction A chemical reaction in which chemical species are separated from other acids and bases. acid ...
