All challengesContinuous Flow Aqueous-Phase Oxidation Reactor
Design and construct a continuous flow reactor prototype that demonstrates the catalytic oxidation of a dilute methylene blue solution using hydrogen peroxide. You must define the residence time distribution for your system and achieve a minimum 70% color degradation efficiency while maintaining steady-state concentration profiles. Document the observed reaction kinetics and evaluate the influence of flow rate perturbations on your system's conversion stability.
Materials: Clear flexible tubing, small aquarium pump, syringe needles for injection ports, hydrogen peroxide, methylene blue dye, graduated cylinders, and a stopwatch.
