The capability of a comprehensive computer code for simulating stirred tank gas-liquid reactors, recently proposed in the literature, is tested by comparison with experimental data concerning the oxidation of p-xylene and the uncatalyzed oxidation of calcium bisulfite performed in a semi-batch and in a continuous reactor, respectively. It is shown that the model describes the reactor behavior in the regimes (i.e. mass transfer and kinetic controlled regimes) which may prevail depending upon the operating conditions.

Abstract
The capability of a comprehensive computer code for simulating stirred tank gas-liquid reactors, recently proposed in the literature, is tested by comparison with experimental data concerning the oxidation of p-xylene and the uncatalyzed oxidation of calcium bisulfite performed in a semi-batch and in a continuous reactor, respectively. It is shown that the model describes the reactor behavior in the regimes (i.e. mass transfer and kinetic controlled regimes) which may prevail depending upon the operating conditions.File in questo prodotto:
