2016 Fall Advanced Chemical Engineering Kinetics

Midterm oral presentation (201611/24, 2016/11/25)

You are a well-trained chemical engineer working in a consulting firm. Your

client is planning to build a plant to produce functional quantum dots (QDs) with high

yield and high purity. Your supervisor has assigned you this project to propose a

reactor design in one month. You are asked to give a presentation before your client.

1. 10 mints presentation (2 mint QA)

2. Introduction/background : Introduce the importance of the QDs you choose.

3. Patent survey : Describe relevant patents.

4. Proposed reactor design :

(a) Advantages/ disadvantages/special properties

(b) Design equations

(c) Reaction mechanism (if any)

(d) Rate law (if any)

(e) Reactor sizing

5. Conclusion

Possible QDs:

Graphene QD (C-dots, carbon dots)

Inorganic QD (CdSe.....etc.)

Metal QD (Ag nanoparticles, Au nanoparticles)
