Abstract
Batch and semi-batch reactors are widely used for fine chemical productions. The target in the fine chemical industry is to produce a high quality product and operational optimization is the key-element to match it. This work investigates how batch and semi-batch reactors can be optimized in order to increase the yield of a desired product. Optimization problem is formulated and applied to calculate the optimal operating parameters such as the reactor temperature and the feed flow rate. Comparison and considerations on the two reactor configurations are given.
