Abstract
A platform for in-situ monitoring of the kinetics of colorimetric reactions was established using an image-based method (IBM). Three reactions were selected for testing including a fast homogenous diazo coupling reaction, a slow homogenous reaction (the degradation of Rhodamine B), and a slow heterogenous diazo coupling reaction. Firstly, standard working curves were developed to correlate image gray values with component concentrations. The temporal evolution of component concentrations was then obtained in real-time by combining the high-speed camera and MATLAB software. Reaction kinetics parameters, including rate constants and activation energy, can be online-estimated through programming language. The comparison of the results obtained from IBM, high-performance liquid chromatography, and ultraviolet–visible spectrophotometry demonstrated that IBM can rapidly track concentration changes during the reaction process. Compared to conventional methods, IBM offers a simpler operation procedure, higher accuracy, and shorter sample analysis time.
期刊介绍:
Chemical engineering enables the transformation of natural resources and energy into useful products for society. It draws on and applies natural sciences, mathematics and economics, and has developed fundamental engineering science that underpins the discipline.
Chemical Engineering Science (CES) has been publishing papers on the fundamentals of chemical engineering since 1951. CES is the platform where the most significant advances in the discipline have ever since been published. Chemical Engineering Science has accompanied and sustained chemical engineering through its development into the vibrant and broad scientific discipline it is today.
