    This document discusses gas-solid non-catalytic reactions. It describes two models used to represent these reactions: the progressive conversion model and the shrinking core model. The shrinking core model assumes the reaction begins at the particle surface and moves inward, leaving behind a solid product layer and reducing the unreacted core. Rate controlling steps in this model include gas film diffusion, internal diffusion through ash, and the chemical reaction. The document also outlines assumptions of the shrinking core model and parameters needed for reactor design.

    UNIT-4 GAS SOLID NON CATALYTIC REACTION

    Give the industrial importance of Gas-Solid non-catalytic reactions


    The roasting of sulphide ores in air to yield metal oxides
    The production of carbon disulphide from the elements
    The production of water gas by the action of steam on coal
    The burning of pure carbon in air

    Name the models used in gas-solid non-catalytic reactions.


    For the Gas-Solid non-catalytic reactions, two idealized models are available;
    (i) Progressive-conversion model[PCM]
    (ii) Shrinking-core model [SCM]

    Briefly explain the Progressive Conversion Model for the gas-solid non-catalytic
    reactions.
     Solid reactant is converted continuously and progressively throughout the particle.
     The reaction rates are different at different locations within the particle.
     This model does not match with the real situations.

    Draw the concentration profile of the Progressive-Conversion Model (PCM)

    Briefly describe SCM?


    This model assumes that the reaction first begins at the outer surface of the solid particle and
    the deeper layers do not take part in the reaction until all the outer layer has transformed into
    solid or gaseous product. Gradually, the reaction zone then moves inward (into the solid),
    constantly reducing the size of core of unreacted solid and leaving behind completely converted
    solid (solid product) and inert material (inert constituent of the solid reactant).

    What are the rate controlling steps according to SCM?

     Diffusion through the gas film


     Diffusion through the ash .
     Chemical reaction.

    What are the limitations of Shrinking Core Model?

    It is the best simple representation for the majority of reacting gas-solid systems. However,
    Slow reaction of a gas with a very porous solid will not fit to the reality.

    Sketch the concentration profile for a solid reactant according to SCM

    State all the assumptions made in the Shrinking Core Model used for gas-solid non-
    catalytic reactions.
    The assumptions made in the Shrinking Core Model used for gas-solid non-catalytic reactions
    are;
     The pellet retains its shape during reaction.
     There is no gaseous region between the pellet and the product layer.
     The temperature is uniform throughout the heterogeneous region.
     The densities of the porous product and the reactant (solid) are the same, so that the
    total radius of the pellet does not change with time.

    What steps occur in the gas solid reactions?

     Diffusion of the gaseous reactant A through the gas film surrounding the particle to
    the surface of solid particle… reactant A diffuses to the external surface of the solid
    particle from the bulk gas phase through the gas film. external diffusion.
     Penetration of A by diffusion through pores and cracks in the blanket (layer) of ash to
    the surface of the unreacted core. Pore or internal diffusion.
     Reaction of gaseous A with solid B at the surface of the unreacted core (reaction
    surface).
     Diffusion of any gaseous products back to the exterior surface of solid through the ash
    (ash layer). Reverse internal diffusion.
     Diffusion of gaseous products through the gas film back into the body of gas Reverse
    external diffusion.

    What are the parameters needed for the design of Gas –solid non catalytic reactor?
     Kinetics of the reaction
     Size distribution of solids
     Contacting pattern

    In a gas-solid non-catalytic reaction, a 4mm solid is 7/8th converted. What is the diameter
    of the shrinking core?

    1 0.875
    4
    Unreacted core dc=2mm
