概要

Sucrose hydrolysis is a reversible reaction widely used at the industrial level to produce glucose and fructose. This process benefits greatly from catalysis, both chemical and enzymatic, and is a representative example of using fixed-bed reactors in continuous processes.

The Computer Controlled Fixed-Bed Catalytic Reactors for Sucrose Hydrolysis, "QRCC", designed by EDIBON, enable practical, controlled study of the hydrolysis reaction under industrial-like conditions. The design of the Computer Controlled Fixed-Bed Catalytic Reactors for Sucrose Hydrolysis, "QRCC", facilitates the analysis of different types of catalysis (chemical and enzymatic) and the impact of operational variables such as temperature, flow rate, and catalyst particle size.

The unit includes three fixed-bed reactors: two dedicated to chemical catalysis, using the same catalyst (ion-exchange resins) with different particle sizes, and a third reactor for enzymatic catalysis, utilizing an immobilized enzyme to carry out sucrose hydrolysis.

The reaction occurs at controlled temperatures between 50 °C and 60 °C, maintained by a hot-water recirculation system through jacketed reactors. Temperature is precisely regulated via PID control managed through the unit software.

Sucrose solution feeding is performed with a variable-speed peristaltic pump, also software-controlled. The resulting solution is collected in a final-product flask and can be analyzed with a spectrophotometer integrated into the system and connected to the unit’s interface.

Optionally, the Computer Controlled Flow Injection Analysis (FIA) Unit, "QRCC-IF" can be included, allowing continuous measurement of the reaction conversion degree.

This Computer Controlled Unit is supplied with the EDIBON Computer Control System (SCADA), and includes: The unit itself + a Control Interface Box + a Data Acquisition Board + Computer Control, Data Acquisition and Data Management Software Packages, for controlling the process and all parameters involved in the process.
