Abstract

The reaction of gaseous a-propylene chlorohydrin with Ca(OH)2 pellets in a fixed bed reactor was investigated at 160-250 Deg. A reaction model, which was derived on the basis of the reaction products propylene oxide, acetone, and propionaldehyde, is discussed. Reaction of the HCl formed is shown to be the rate detg. step over almost the entire temp. range investigated. A kinetic model for the variation of reaction rate with the duration of the expt. and with the amt. of converted solid reactant could be established which permits a quant. description of the exptl. results. It is also possible with this model to give a qual. explanation of the observed changes in selectivity with reaction time regarding the above mentioned products. [on SciFinder (R)]

Chemical reaction

A chemical reaction is a process that leads to the chemical transformation of one set of chemical substances to another. Classically, chemical reactions encompass changes that only involve the positions of electrons in the forming and breaking of chemical bonds between atoms, with no change to the nuclei (no change to the elements present), and can often be described by a chemical equation. Nuclear chemistry is a sub-discipline of chemistry that involves the chemical reactions of unstable and radioactive elements where both electronic and nuclear changes can occur.

Reaction rate

The reaction rate or rate of reaction is the speed at which a chemical reaction takes place, defined as proportional to the increase in the concentration of a product per unit time and to the decrease in the concentration of a reactant per unit time. Reaction rates can vary dramatically. For example, the oxidative rusting of iron under Earth's atmosphere is a slow reaction that can take many years, but the combustion of cellulose in a fire is a reaction that takes place in fractions of a second.

Reaction mechanism

In chemistry, a reaction mechanism is the step by step sequence of elementary reactions by which overall chemical reaction occurs. A chemical mechanism is a theoretical conjecture that tries to describe in detail what takes place at each stage of an overall chemical reaction. The detailed steps of a reaction are not observable in most cases. The conjectured mechanism is chosen because it is thermodynamically feasible and has experimental support in isolated intermediates (see next section) or other quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the reaction.
