The importance of the chemical reaction

The chemical aspects are the prerequisite part and can formally be represented by the
chemical reaction kinetics (as a consequence of reaction mechanisms).

Optimizing strategies for the space time yield depend on the 'essence' of the chemical reaction (this topic will be discussed later on).

At this place it is recommeded to try some simulations on reaction kinetics ( for repetition!): workshop

In other terms: reaction kinetics determine the choice of the contacting pattern within the reaction volume, hence the choice of the reactor type.

Let us take as first explanation for the contacting pattern 'the way how the reaction mass is mixed and mass transfer manages the transport of the reaction components to the reaction place'.
