The Institute of Multiphase Flows published a paper on UV/VIS imaging spectroscopy to study the influence of fluid dynamics on the formation of major and minor product in fast competing consecutive gas-liquid reactions. The paper is dedicated to Prof. Dr. Matthias Kraume for his 65th birthday.
Abstract: To form many bulk chemicals, gaseous substances must be mixed with a continuous liquid phase and made to react. This often results in the formation of undesirable by-products. How the formation of a by-product of a fast competing subsequent reaction can be influenced by the time scales of the mixing is investigated. A Taylor bubble experiment is used in which the time scales of mixing can be varied systematically and reproducibly. It is shown that the mixing in the wake of a bubble is of decisive importance with regard to the formation of by-products.
