Pooja.K.Jadhav, Rashmi.S.Deshpande

Abstract: In this paper Integral method of analysis of data for Batch reactor is used to find the rate and order of reaction of Atenolol epoxide. The integral method is useful for fitting simple chemical reactions. This method puts a particular rate equation to test by integrating and comparing the predicted C versus t curve with experimental C versus t data. If the fit is unsatisfactory, another rate equation is tested. The key raw materials required to produce Atenolol epoxide are Parahydroxyphenylacetamide (PHPA) and Epichlorohydrine (EPH). Firstly, the order and rate with respect to reactant i.e. PHPA is tested and then overall order and rate of equation is evaluated with Integral method of analysis of data. The integrated rate law depends on the kinetics. Since the reaction is being carried out in a batch reactor, the volume of reactor is assumed constant throughout the reaction. The theoretical and actual rates of reaction are then compared for various concentrations of reactant.
