N2 - New systems have been developed for the measurement of interfacial area in liquid-liquid reactors by the chemical method at high temperatures, including refluxing conditions, and this necessitated a study of the kinetics of the relevant reactions at higher temperatures. The values of effective interfacial area, a, were measured in a 0. 1 m i. d. mechanically agitated contactor, at higher temperatures, with or without reflux, by employing the theory of mass transfer accompanied by a fast pseudo-first order reaction. The reduction of m-nitrochlorobenzene with aqueous sodium disulfide can be conveniently employed for the measurement of a. The alkaline hydrolysis of isodecyl and dodecyl formate esters can also be advantageously employed. The dependence of a on the speed of agitation and the superficial vapor velocity, V//G, under refluxing conditions was studied. 26 refs.
