✦ Synopsis

A batch reactor designed to simulate the non-isother-ma1 temperature profile of a commercial, vertical-tube wet oxidation process is used to predict global process performance, and to estimate reaction rates. A model is developed for the batch reactor that predicts extent of reaction and vapovliquid equilibria under non-is0 thermal conditions. n i s model is used with measured rate parameters to predict the gfect of process conditions on overall performance of specific wastes. This reduces the number of runs normally executed in a feasibility study, saving time and money. Phenol is selected as a model compound, and values for reaction rate constants and induction period length are obtained for temperatures up to 224C.
