The goal | Course should enable a student to analyze and improve performances of a given reactor encountered in an electrochemical plant or water purification unit as well as to select or even design the reactor for a specific purpose. | |||
The outcome | Student connected previous knowledge of the chemical and electrochemical kinetics with the mass transfer phenomena and grasp mathematical models of electrochemical reactors ; - Student is familiar with some examples of electrochemical reactors applied in different fields of electrochemical technology ; - Student is able to i) analyze performances of a given reactor, ii) select a proper reactor available on the market and possibly iii) design electrochemical reactor for a specific purpose | |||
Contents | ||||
Contents of lectures | * Components and operating regimes of the electrochemical reactors, classification of the reactors ; * Model of the plug-flow reactor and recirculating plug-flow reactors ; * Models of the electrochemical reactors with ideal mixing – continuous flow stirred tank reactor, recirculation, cascade, batch reactor ; * Specific reactors – plug-flow reactor with total recirculation, cascade of plug-flow reactors, electrochemical reactors with tridimensional electrode ; * Influence of the chemical steps and adsorption on the reactor design ; * Connection of individual units into a composite reactor ; * Optimization of electrochemical reactors, simulation and control of the reactors, similarity and scale-up of the reactors ; * Practical examples of electrochemical reactors – reactor for organic electrosynthesis, reactor for waste water treatment, bio-electrochemical reactor | |||
