The effect of energy input on precipitation in an oscillating grid reactor

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

The move to cleaner production has led to the process industry aiming at producing chemicals in a pure form and at the lowest possible cost. In practice this has resulted in a shift from treating processes as "black boxes" towards developing more concise models which reveal what happens within these "black boxes". This shift can be discerned at plant level for better control mechanisms, at a reactor design level to incorporate the effect of hydrodynamics and even at a molecular level when designing a tailor-made catalyst.
