Process Engineering Laboratory I

Course contents

Laboratory experiments on the following topics:
- Organic-chemical synthesis of a liquid and purification by distillation with subsequent yield determination
- Organic chemical synthesis of a solid and purification by recrystallization with subsequent yield determination
- Determination of reaction kinetics (e.g. saponification of ethyl acetate in discontinuous operation)
- Determination of Arrhenius parameters (pre-exponential factor and activation energy) by measuring the concentration-time curves of a reaction
- Determination of the residence time distribution in different reactors
- Investigation of the degree of conversion of ester saponification in different continuously operated reactors (stirred tank, stirred tank cascade and flow tube)
