Spinning Basket Reactor Apparatus

Any catalytic liquid-liquid or liquid-gas reaction involving the use of a catalyst placed in the basket can be studied in this setup. The kinetic parameters of a specific reaction can be estimated & parametric studies can be conducted. The set-up consists of a reactor centrally having one spinning basket derived through a variable speed motor. The metered flow of reactant from the feed tank is fed to the reactor at the bottom. The set-up can be used batch-wise or as a continuous type. Sampling points are provided for analysis. Port connection for the gas inlet is provided at the bottom of the reactor

Experimentation/Learning Objectives:
