Autocatalytic reactions are best carried out in a_________________?
Correct answer: D. Recycle reactor
- A. CSTR
- B. CSTR in series
- C. Plug flow reactor
- D. Recycle reactor
Explanation
A recycle reactor returns product to the feed, which is especially useful when the product catalyses the reaction because it supplies catalyst at the reactor inlet. This avoids the initially low reaction rate that occurs in a plug-flow reactor without product.
