The properties of different chemical reactors can be investigated by performing a saponification reaction using  Tesca Chemicals Reactor Trainer. The contact time and reaction temperature can be varied.  Their influence on the conversion of reactants is observed in the respective reactor. The reactors are available  as accessories. The unit contains two supply tanks for the liquid chemicals. Two variable speed diaphragm  pumps pump the reactants through the reactor. Reactant conversion and reaction temperature are measured  with a combined conductivity and temperature measuring unit. It is also possible to use optionally PC interface  for data acquisition & control.  
The reaction is moderated using a controlled hot water circuit. The resulting reaction product is collected in a  stainless steel tray in the unit. 

Experiments
In conjunction with the various types of reactors available as accessories in the 32265, comprehensive  experiments on the reaction kinetics and on the conversion of reactants during a saponification reaction can  be performed. Specifically, the following experiments can be performed:  
   - Variation of contact time of the two chemicals  
   - Variation of reaction temperature  
   - Adiabatic reaction in a batch reactor  
   - Isothermal reaction in a batch reactor
