The '''batch reactor''' is the generic term for a type of [[Chemical reactor|vessel]] widely used in the [[Process industry|process industries]]. Its name is something of a [[misnomer]] since vessels of this type are used for a variety of process operations such as [[Dissolution (chemistry)|solids dissolution]], [[Mixing (process engineering)|product mixing]], [[chemical reaction]]s, [[batch distillation]], [[crystallization]], liquid/liquid extraction and [[polymerization]]. In some cases, they are not referred to as [[Chemical reactor|reactors]] but have a name which reflects the role they perform (such as [[crystallizer]], or [[bioreactor]]).

A typical batch reactor consists of a [[storage tank]] with an [[Agitator (device)|agitator]] and integral heating/cooling system. These vessels may vary in size from less than 1 litre to more than 15,000 litres. They are usually fabricated in [[steel]], [[stainless steel]], [[glass-lined steel]], [[glass]] or exotic [[alloy]]. [[Liquid]]s and [[solid]]s are usually charged via connections in the top cover of the reactor. Vapors and [[gases]] also discharge through connections in the top. Liquids are usually discharged out of the bottom.
A '''hydrogen bond''' (or '''H-bond''') is a primarily [[Electrostatics|electrostatic]] force of attraction between a [[hydrogen]] (H) atom which is [[Covalent bond|covalently bound]] to a more [[electronegativity|electronegative]] atom or group, and another electronegative atom bearing a [[lone pair]] of electrons—the hydrogen bond acceptor (Ac). Such an interacting system is generally denoted Dn–H···Ac, where the solid line denotes a polar [[covalent bond]], and the dotted or dashed line indicates the hydrogen bond.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|last1=Arunan|first1=Elangannan|last2=Desiraju|first2=Gautam R.|last3=Klein|first3=Roger A.|last4=Sadlej|first4=Joanna|last5=Scheiner|first5=Steve|last6=Alkorta|first6=Ibon|last7=Clary|first7=David C.|last8=Crabtree|first8=Robert H.|last9=Dannenberg|first9=Joseph J.|date=2011-07-08|title=Definition of the hydrogen bond (IUPAC Recommendations 2011)|url=http://www.degruyter.com/view/j/pac.2011.83.issue-8/pac-rec-10-01-02/pac-rec-10-01-02.xml|journal=Pure and Applied Chemistry|volume=83|issue=8|pages=1637–1641|doi=10.1351/PAC-REC-10-01-02|s2cid=97688573|issn=1365-3075}}</ref> The most frequent donor and acceptor atoms are the second-row elements [[nitrogen]] (N), [[oxygen]] (O), and [[fluorine]] (F)


The advantages of the batch reactor lie with its versatility. A single vessel can carry out a sequence of different operations without the need to break containment. This is particularly useful when processing [[toxic]] or highly [[wikt:potency|potent]] [[Chemical compound|compound]]s.
Hydrogen bonds can be [[intermolecular]] (occurring between separate molecules) or [[Intramolecular force|intramolecular]] (occurring among parts of the same molecule).<ref>Pimentel, G.

This type of bond can occur in inorganic molecules such as water and in [[organic molecules]] like DNA and proteins. Hydrogen bonds are responsible for holding such materials as [[paper]] and [[wool|felted wool]] together, and for causing separate sheets of paper to stick together after becoming wet and subsequently drying.


==Agitation==
The hydrogen bond is responsible for many of the anomalous physical and chemical properties of compounds of N, O, and F. In particular, intermolecular hydrogen bonding is responsible for the high boiling point of [[water]] (100&nbsp;°C) compared to the other [[Hydrogen chalcogenide|group-16 hydride]]s that have much weaker hydrogen bonds.<ref>{{cite journal|journal=J. Am. Chem. Soc. |volume=93|issue=15|pages=3613–3620|author1=Sabin, John R. |title=Hydrogen bonds involving sulfur. I.

It also plays an important role in the structure of [[polymer]]s, both synthetic and natural.


The usual agitator arrangement is a centrally mounted [[driveshaft]] with an overhead drive unit. [[Impeller]] blades are mounted on the shaft. A wide variety of blade designs are used and typically the blades cover about two thirds of the diameter of the reactor. Where viscous products are handled, [[anchor]] shaped paddles are often used which have a close clearance between the blade and the vessel walls.
==Bonding==

Most batch reactors also use [[Baffle (in vessel)|baffles]]. These are stationary blades which break up flow caused by the rotating agitator. These may be fixed to the vessel cover or mounted on the interior of the side walls.
===Definitions and general characteristics===
A hydrogen atom attached to a relatively [[electronegativity|electronegative]] atom is the hydrogen bond ''donor''.<ref>{{cite book|last = Campbell|first = Neil A.|author2 = Brad Williamson|author3 = Robin J.

In the hydrogen bond donor, the H center is protic. The donor is a Lewis base. Hydrogen bonds are represented as H···Y system, where the dots represent the hydrogen bond. Liquids that display hydrogen bonding (such as water) are called '''associated liquids'''.

Despite significant improvements in agitator blade and baffle design, mixing in large batch reactors is ultimately constrained by the amount of [[energy]] that can be applied. On large vessels, mixing energies of more than 5 Watts per litre can put an unacceptable burden on the cooling system. High agitator loads can also create shaft stability problems. Where mixing is a critical parameter, the batch reactor is not the ideal solution. Much higher mixing rates can be achieved by using smaller flowing systems with high speed agitators, [[Ultrasound|ultrasonic]] mixing or [[static mixer]]s.
The hydrogen bond is often described as an [[electrostatic]] [[dipole-dipole interaction]]. However, it also has some features of [[covalent bond]]ing: it is directional and strong, produces interatomic distances shorter than the sum of the van der Waals radii, and usually involves a limited number of interaction partners, which can be interpreted as a type of [[Valence (chemistry)|valence]]. These covalent features are more substantial when acceptors bind hydrogens from more electronegative donors.


==Heating and cooling systems==
As part of a more detailed list of criteria, the IUPAC publication acknowledges that the attractive interaction can arise from some combination of electrostatics (multipole-multipole and multipole-induced multipole interactions), covalency (charge transfer by orbital overlap), and dispersion (London forces), and states that the relative importance of each will vary depending on the system. However, a footnote to the criterion recommends the exclusion of interactions in which dispersion is the primary contributor, specifically giving Ar---CH<sub>4</sub> and CH<sub>4</sub>---CH<sub>4</sub> as examples of such interactions to be excluded from the definition.<ref name=":0" />
Nevertheless, most introductory textbooks still restrict the definition of hydrogen bond to the "classical" type of hydrogen bond characterized in the opening paragraph.


Products within batch reactors usually liberate or absorb [[heat]] during processing. Even the action of stirring stored liquids generates heat. In order to hold the reactor contents at the desired [[temperature]], heat has to be added or removed by a [[heat exchanger|cooling jacket]] or [[heat pipe|cooling pipe]]. Heating/cooling coils or external jackets are used for heating and cooling batch reactors. Heat transfer fluid passes through the jacket or coils to add or remove heat.
Weaker hydrogen bonds<ref>Desiraju, G. R. and Steiner, T. The Weak Hydrogen Bond: In Structural Chemistry and Biology , International Union of Crystallography;'''2001''', {{ISBN|0198509707}}</ref> are known for hydrogen atoms bound to elements such as sulfur (S) or chlorine (Cl); even carbon (C) can serve as a donor, particularly when the carbon or one of its neighbors is electronegative (e.g., in chloroform, aldehydes and terminal acetylenes).<ref>Nishio, M.; Hirota, M.; Umezawa, Y.

Though these "non-traditional" hydrogen bonding interactions are often quite weak (~1 kcal/mol), they are also ubiquitous and are increasingly recognized as important control elements in receptor-ligand interactions in medicinal chemistry or intra-/intermolecular interactions in materials sciences.


Within the chemical and [[pharmaceutical]] industries, external cooling jackets are generally preferred as they make the vessel easier to clean. The performance of these jackets can be defined by 3 parameters:
The definition of hydrogen bonding has gradually broadened over time to include these weaker attractive interactions. In 2011, an [[IUPAC]] Task Group recommended a modern evidence-based definition of hydrogen bonding, which was published in the [[IUPAC]] journal ''[[Pure and Applied Chemistry]]''. This definition specifies:
* response time to modify the jacket temperature

It can be argued that [[heat transfer coefficient]] is also an important parameter. It has to be recognized however that large batch reactors with external cooling jackets have severe heat transfer constraints by virtue of design. It is difficult to achieve better than 100 Watts/litre even with ideal heat transfer conditions. By contrast, [[Continuous flow reactor|continuous reactors]] can deliver cooling capacities in excess of 10,000 [[watt|W]]/[[litre]]. For processes with very high heat loads, there are better solutions than batch reactors.
===Bond strength===

The strength of intermolecular hydrogen bonds is most often evaluated by measurements of equilibria between molecules containing donor and/or acceptor units, most often in solution.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Biedermann F, Schneider HJ | title = Experimental Binding Energies in Supramolecular Complexes | journal = Chemical Reviews | volume = 116 | issue = 9 | pages = 5216–300 | date = May 2016 | pmid = 27136957 | doi = 10.1021/acs.chemrev.5b00583 }}</ref> The strength of intramolecular hydrogen bonds can be studied with equilibria between conformers with and without hydrogen bonds. The most important method for the identification of hydrogen bonds also in complicated molecules is [[crystallography]], sometimes also NMR-spectroscopy. Structural details, in particular distances between donor and acceptor which are smaller than the sum of the van der Waals radii can be taken as indication of the hydrogen bond strength.


Fast temperature control response and uniform jacket heating and cooling is particularly important for crystallization processes or operations where the product or process is very temperature sensitive. There are several types of batch reactor cooling jackets:
One scheme gives the following somewhat arbitrary classification: those that are 15 to 40 kcal/mol, 5 to 15 kcal/mol, and >0 to 5 kcal/mol are considered strong, moderate, and weak, respectively.


===Structural details===
===Single external jacket===
[[Image:Batch reactor.2.jpg|thumb|right|180px|Batch reactor with single external cooling jacket]]
The X−H distance is typically ≈110&nbsp;[[picometre|pm]], whereas the H···Y distance is ≈160 to 200&nbsp;pm. The typical length of a hydrogen bond in water is 197&nbsp;pm. The ideal bond angle depends on the nature of the hydrogen bond donor. The following hydrogen bond angles between a hydrofluoric acid donor and various acceptors have been determined experimentally:<ref>{{cite journal|doi=10.1039/CS9871600467|title=Angular geometries and other properties of hydrogen-bonded dimers: a simple electrostatic interpretation of the success of the electron-pair model|year=1987|last1=Legon|first1=A. C.|last2=Millen|first2=D. J.|journal=Chemical Society Reviews|volume=16|pages=467}}</ref>
The single jacket design consists of an outer jacket which surrounds the vessel. Heat transfer fluid flows around the jacket and is injected at high [[velocity]] via nozzles. The temperature in the jacket is [[regulated]] to control heating or cooling.

The single jacket is probably the oldest design of external cooling jacket. Despite being a tried and tested solution, it has some limitations. On large vessels, it can take many minutes to adjust the temperature of the fluid in the cooling jacket. This results in sluggish temperature control. The distribution of [[heat transfer]] fluid is also far from ideal and the heating or cooling tends to vary between the side walls and bottom dish. Another issue to consider is the inlet temperature of the heat transfer fluid which can oscillate (in response to the temperature control valve) over a wide temperature range to cause hot or cold spots at the jacket inlet points.
===Spectroscopy===
Strong hydrogen bonds are revealed by downfield shifts in the [[proton NMR spectroscopy|<sup>1</sup>H NMR spectrum]]. For example, the acidic proton in the enol tautomer of [[acetylacetone]] appears at δ<sub>H</sub> 15.5, which is about 10 ppm downfield of a conventional alcohol.<ref>Friebolin, H., "Basic One- and Two- Dimensional NMR Spectroscopy, 4th ed.," VCH: Weinheim, 2008. {{ISBN|978-3-527-31233-7}}</ref>


===Half coil jacket===
In the IR spectrum, hydrogen bonding shifts the X-H stretching frequency to lower energy (i.e. the vibration frequency decreases). This shift reflects a weakening of the X-H bond. Certain hydrogen bonds - improper hydrogen bonds - show a blue shift of the X-H stretching frequency and a decrease in the bond length.<ref>{{cite journal |vauthors=Hobza P, Havlas Z |title=Blue-Shifting Hydrogen Bonds |journal=Chem. Rev. |volume=100 |issue=11 |pages=4253–4264 |year=2000 |doi=10.1021/cr990050q |pmid=11749346 }}</ref> H-bonds can also be measured by IR vibrational mode shifts of the acceptor. The amide I mode of backbone carbonyls in α-helices shifts to lower frequencies when they form H-bonds with side-chain hydroxyl groups.<ref name="Feldblum 2014 4085–4090">{{cite journal|last=Feldblum|first=Esther S.|author2=Arkin, Isaiah T.|title=Strength of a bifurcated H bond|journal=Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences|volume=111|issue=11|pages=4085–4090|year=2014|doi=10.1073/pnas.1319827111|pmid=24591597|pmc=3964065|bibcode=2014PNAS..111.4085F|doi-access=free}}</ref>
[[Image:Final half coil vessel.JPG|thumb|right|180px|Batch reactor with half coil jacket]]
The half coil jacket is made by [[welding]] a half pipe around the outside of the vessel to create a semi circular flow channel. The heat transfer fluid passes through the channel in a [[plug flow]] fashion. A large reactor may use several coils to deliver the heat transfer fluid. Like the single jacket, the temperature in the jacket is regulated to control heating or cooling.


The plug flow characteristics of a half coil jacket permits faster displacement of the heat transfer fluid in the jacket (typically less than 60 seconds). This is desirable for good temperature control. It also provides good distribution of heat transfer fluid which avoids the problems of non uniform heating or cooling between the side walls and bottom dish. Like the single jacket design however the inlet heat transfer fluid is also vulnerable to large oscillations (in response to the temperature control valve) in temperature.

===Constant flux cooling jacket===
Quantum chemical calculations of the relevant interresidue potential constants (compliance constants) revealed{{how|date=December 2015}} large differences between individual H bonds of the same type. For example, the central interresidue N−H···N hydrogen bond between guanine and cytosine is much stronger in comparison to the N−H···N bond between the adenine-thymine pair.<ref>{{cite journal|doi=10.1021/ja046282a|pmid=15600318|title=Direct Assessment of Interresidue Forces in Watson−Crick Base Pairs Using Theoretical Compliance Constants|journal=Journal of the American Chemical Society|volume=126|issue=50|pages=16310–1|year=2004|last1=Grunenberg|first1=Jörg}}</ref>

The constant flux cooling jacket is a relatively recent development. It is not a single jacket but has a series of 20 or more small jacket elements. The temperature control valve operates by opening and closing these channels as required. By varying the heat transfer area in this way, the process temperature can be regulated without altering the jacket temperature.


The constant flux jacket has very fast temperature control response (typically less than 5 seconds) due to the short length of the flow channels and high velocity of the heat transfer fluid. Like the half coil jacket the heating/cooling [[flux]] is uniform. Because the jacket operates at substantially constant temperature however the inlet temperature oscillations seen in other jackets are absent. An unusual feature of this type jacket is that process heat can be measured very sensitively. This allows the user to monitor the rate of reaction for detecting end points, controlling addition rates, controlling [[crystallization]] etc.
Theoretically, the bond strength of the hydrogen bonds can be assessed using NCI index, [[non-covalent interactions index]], which allows a visualization of these [[non-covalent interactions]], as its name indicates, using the electron density of the system.

Batch reactors are often used in the process industry. Batch reactors also have many laboratory applications, such as small scale production and inducing fermentation for beverage products. They also have many uses in medical production. Batch reactors are generally considered expensive to run, as well as variable product reliability. They are also used for experiments of reaction kinetics, volatiles and thermodynamics. Batch reactors are also highly used in waste water treatment. They are effective in reducing BOD (biological oxygen demand) of influent untreated water.<ref>"The Sequencing Batch Reactor as a Powerful Tool for the Study of Slowly Growing Anaerobic Ammonium-oxidizing Microorganisms - Springer."

Most generally, the hydrogen bond can be viewed as a [[metric (mathematics)|metric]]-dependent [[electrostatic]] [[scalar field]] between two or more intermolecular bonds. This is slightly different from the [[Intramolecular force|intramolecular]] [[bound states]] of, for example, [[covalent bond|covalent]] or [[ionic bond]]s; however, hydrogen bonding is generally still a [[bound state]] phenomenon, since the [[interaction energy]] has a net negative sum. The initial theory of hydrogen bonding proposed by [[Linus Pauling]] suggested that the hydrogen bonds had a partial covalent nature. This interpretation remained controversial until [[nuclear magnetic resonance|NMR techniques]] demonstrated information transfer between hydrogen-bonded nuclei, a feat that would only be possible if the hydrogen bond contained some covalent character.<ref>{{cite journal|title = Observation of through-hydrogen-bond (2h)J(HC') in a perdeuterated protein|journal = [[J Magn Reson]]|year = 1999|volume = 140|pages = 510–2|doi = 10.1006/jmre.1999.1899|pmid = 10497060|issue = 2|bibcode = 1999JMagR.140..510C |last1 = Cordier|first1 = F|last2 = Rogowski|first2 = M|last3 = Grzesiek|first3 = S|last4 = Bax|first4 = A|s2cid = 121429|url = https://semanticscholar.org/paper/313914f3a544c88c2fa13303a37500e9fd7a4c7c}}</ref>

===Water===
== References ==
<references />
A ubiquitous example of a hydrogen bond is found between [[water]] molecules. In a discrete water molecule, there are two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. The simplest case is a pair of [[water]] molecules with one hydrogen bond between them, which is called the [[water dimer]] and is often used as a model system. When more molecules are present, as is the case with liquid water, more bonds are possible because the oxygen of one water molecule has two lone pairs of electrons, each of which can form a hydrogen bond with a hydrogen on another water molecule. This can repeat such that every water molecule is H-bonded with up to four other molecules, as shown in the figure (two through its two lone pairs, and two through its two hydrogen atoms). Hydrogen bonding strongly affects the [[crystal structure]] of [[ice]], helping to create an open hexagonal lattice. The density of ice is less than the density of water at the same temperature; thus, the solid phase of water floats on the liquid, unlike most other substances.

[[Liquid]] water's high [[boiling point]] is due to the high number of hydrogen bonds each molecule can form, relative to its low [[molecular mass]]. Owing to the difficulty of breaking these bonds, water has a very high boiling point, melting point, and viscosity compared to otherwise similar liquids not conjoined by hydrogen bonds. Water is unique because its oxygen atom has two lone pairs and two hydrogen atoms, meaning that the total number of bonds of a water molecule is up to four.

The number of hydrogen bonds formed by a molecule of liquid water fluctuates with time and temperature.<ref name="Jorgensen1985"/> From [[water model|TIP4P]] liquid water simulations at 25&nbsp;°C, it was estimated that each water molecule participates in an average of 3.59 hydrogen bonds. At 100&nbsp;°C, this number decreases to 3.24 due to the increased molecular motion and decreased density, while at 0&nbsp;°C, the average number of hydrogen bonds increases to 3.69.<ref name="Jorgensen1985">{{cite journal|author1=Jorgensen, W.

Where the bond strengths are more equivalent, one might instead find the atoms of two interacting water molecules partitioned into two [[polyatomic ion]]s of opposite charge, specifically [[hydroxide]] (OH<sup>−</sup>) and [[hydronium]] (H<sub>3</sub>O<sup>+</sup>). (Hydronium ions are also known as "hydroxonium" ions.)

:H−O<sup>−</sup> H<sub>3</sub>O<sup>+</sup>

Indeed, in pure water under conditions of [[standard temperature and pressure]], this latter formulation is applicable only rarely; on average about one in every 5.5 × 10<sup>8</sup> molecules gives up a proton to another water molecule, in accordance with the value of the [[dissociation constant]] for water under such conditions. It is a crucial part of the uniqueness of water.

Because water may form hydrogen bonds with solute proton donors and acceptors, it may competitively inhibit the formation of solute intermolecular or intramolecular hydrogen bonds. Consequently, hydrogen bonds between or within solute molecules dissolved in water are almost always unfavorable relative to hydrogen bonds between water and the donors and acceptors for hydrogen bonds on those solutes.<ref>{{cite journal|author=Jencks, William |title= Hydrogen Bonding between Solutes in Aqueous Solution| journal=[[J.

=== Bifurcated and over-coordinated hydrogen bonds in water ===
A single hydrogen atom can participate in two hydrogen bonds, rather than one. This type of bonding is called "bifurcated" (split in two or "two-forked"). It can exist, for instance, in complex natural or synthetic organic molecules.<ref>{{cite journal|doi=10.1139/v84-087|journal=Can. J.

Acceptor-type hydrogen bonds (terminating on an oxygen's lone pairs) are more likely to form bifurcation (it is called overcoordinated oxygen, OCO) than are donor-type hydrogen bonds, beginning on the same oxygen's hydrogens.<ref>{{cite journal|title = The Distribution of Acceptor and Donor Hydrogen-Bonds in Bulk Liquid Water|author1=Markovitch, Omer |author2=Agmon, Noam |journal = Molecular Physics|year = 2008|volume = 106|issue = 2|pages = 485|doi = 10.1080/00268970701877921|bibcode = 2008MolPh.106..485M |s2cid=17648714 }}</ref>

===Other liquids===
For example, [[hydrogen fluoride]]—which has three lone pairs on the F atom but only one H atom—can form only two bonds; ([[ammonia]] has the opposite problem: three hydrogen atoms but only one lone pair).

===Further manifestations of solvent hydrogen bonding===
* Increase in the [[melting point]], [[boiling point]], [[solubility]], and viscosity of many compounds can be explained by the concept of hydrogen bonding.
* Negative [[Azeotrope|azeotropy]] of mixtures of HF and water
* The fact that ice is less dense than liquid water is due to a crystal structure stabilized by hydrogen bonds.
* Dramatically higher boiling points of NH<sub>3</sub>, H<sub>2</sub>O, and HF compared to the heavier analogues PH<sub>3</sub>, H<sub>2</sub>S, and HCl, where hydrogen-bonding is absent.
* Viscosity of anhydrous [[phosphoric acid]] and of [[glycerol]]
* Dimer formation in [[carboxylic acid]]s and hexamer formation in [[hydrogen fluoride]], which occur even in the gas phase, resulting in gross deviations from the [[ideal gas law]].
* Pentamer formation of water and alcohols in apolar solvents.

==Hydrogen bonds in polymers==
Hydrogen bonding plays an important role in determining the three-dimensional structures and the properties adopted by many synthetic and natural proteins. Compared to the C-C, C-O, and C-N bonds that comprise most polymers, hydrogen bonds are far weaker, perhaps 5%. Thus, hydrogen bonds can be broken by chemical or mechanical means while retaining the basic structure of the polymer backbone. This hierarchy of bond strengths (covalent bonds being stronger than hydrogen-bonds being stronger than van der Waals forces) is key to understanding the properties of many materials.<ref>{{cite book|title=Hydrogen Bonding in Polymer Materials|author=Shiao-Wei Kuo|year=2018|publisher=Wiley-VCH }}</ref>

===DNA===
[[File:DNA animation.gif|thumb|The structure of part of a DNA [[double helix]]]]
[[File:Base pair GC.svg|thumb|Hydrogen bonding between [[guanine]] and [[cytosine]], one of two types of [[base pair]]s in DNA]]

In these macromolecules, bonding between parts of the same macromolecule cause it to fold into a specific shape, which helps determine the molecule's physiological or biochemical role. For example, the double helical structure of [[DNA]] is due largely to hydrogen bonding between its [[base pair]]s (as well as [[pi stacking]] interactions), which link one complementary strand to the other and enable [[DNA replication|replication]].

===Proteins===
In the [[Protein secondary structure|secondary structure of proteins]], hydrogen bonds form between the backbone oxygens and [[amide]] hydrogens. When the spacing of the [[amino acid]] residues participating in a hydrogen bond occurs regularly between positions ''i'' and ''i''&nbsp;+&nbsp;4, an [[alpha helix]] is formed. When the spacing is less, between positions ''i'' and ''i''&nbsp;+&nbsp;3, then a [[3 10 helix|3<sub>10</sub> helix]] is formed. When two strands are joined by hydrogen bonds involving alternating residues on each participating strand, a [[beta sheet]] is formed. Hydrogen bonds also play a part in forming the tertiary structure of protein through interaction of R-groups. (See also [[protein folding]]).

[[Bifurcated H-bond]] systems are common in alpha-helical [[transmembrane proteins]] between the backbone amide C=O of residue ''i'' as the H-bond acceptor and two H-bond donors from residue ''i+4'': the backbone amide N-H and a side-chain hydroxyl or thiol H<sup>+</sup>. The energy preference of the bifurcated H-bond hydroxyl or thiol system is -3.4 kcal/mol or -2.6 kcal/mol, respectively. This type of bifurcated H-bond provides an intrahelical H-bonding partner for polar side-chains, such as [[serine]], [[threonine]], and [[cysteine]] within the hydrophobic membrane environments.<ref name="Feldblum 2014 4085–4090"/>

The role of hydrogen bonds in protein folding has also been linked to osmolyte-induced protein stabilization. Protective osmolytes, such as [[trehalose]] and [[sorbitol]], shift the protein folding equilibrium toward the folded state, in a concentration dependent manner. While the prevalent explanation for osmolyte action relies on excluded volume effects that are entropic in nature, [[circular dichroism]] (CD) experiments have shown osmolyte to act through an enthalpic effect.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Politi|first=Regina|author2=Harries, Daniel|title=Enthalpically driven peptide stabilization by protective osmolytes|journal=ChemComm|year=2010|volume=46|pages=6449–6451|doi=10.1039/C0CC01763A|pmid=20657920|issue=35}}</ref> The molecular mechanism for their role in protein stabilization is still not well established, though several mechanisms have been proposed. Computer [[molecular dynamics]] simulations suggest that osmolytes stabilize proteins by modifying the hydrogen bonds in the protein hydration layer.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Gilman-Politi|first=Regina|author2=Harries, Daniel|title=Unraveling the Molecular Mechanism of Enthalpy Driven Peptide Folding by Polyol Osmolytes|journal=Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation|year=2011|volume=7|issue=11|pages=3816–3828|doi=10.1021/ct200455n|pmid=26598272}}</ref>

Several studies have shown that hydrogen bonds play an important role for the stability between subunits in multimeric proteins. For example, a study of sorbitol dehydrogenase displayed an important hydrogen bonding network which stabilizes the tetrameric quaternary structure within the mammalian sorbitol dehydrogenase protein family.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Hellgren|first=M.|author2=Kaiser, C.|author3=de Haij, S.|author4=Norberg, A.|author5=Höög, J.

A protein backbone hydrogen bond incompletely shielded from water attack is a [[dehydron]]. Dehydrons promote the removal of water through proteins or [[ligand|ligand binding]]. The exogenous dehydration enhances the [[electrostatic]] interaction between the [[amide]] and [[carbonyl]] groups by de-shielding their [[charge (physics)|partial charges]]. Furthermore, the dehydration stabilizes the hydrogen bond by destabilizing the [[nonbonded interactions|nonbonded state]] consisting of dehydrated [[charge (physics)|isolated charges]].<ref>{{cite journal|last=Fernández|first=A.|author2=Rogale K.|author3=Scott Ridgway|author4=Scheraga H.

[[Wool]], being a protein fibre, is held together by hydrogen bonds, causing wool to recoil when stretched. However, washing at high temperatures can permanently break the hydrogen bonds and a garment may permanently lose its shape.

===Cellulose===
Hydrogen bonds are important in the structure of [[cellulose]] and derived polymers in its many different forms in nature, such as [[cotton]] and [[flax]].

[[Image:Kevlar chemical structure.png|thumb|400px|Para-aramid structure]]
[[Image:Cellulose strand.svg|thumb|right|260px|A strand of cellulose (conformation I<sub>α</sub>), showing the hydrogen bonds (dashed) within and between cellulose molecules]]

===Synthetic polymers===
Many [[polymer]]s are strengthened by hydrogen bonds within and between the chains. Among the [[synthetic polymer]]s, a well characterized example is [[nylon]], where hydrogen bonds occur in the [[repeat unit]] and play a major role in [[crystallization]] of the material. The bonds occur between [[carbonyl]] and [[amine]] groups in the [[amide]] repeat unit. They effectively link adjacent chains, which help reinforce the material. The effect is great in [[aramid]] [[fibre]], where hydrogen bonds stabilize the linear chains laterally. The chain axes are aligned along the fibre axis, making the fibres extremely stiff and strong.

The hydrogen-bond networks make both natural and synthetic polymers sensitive to [[humidity]] levels in the atmosphere because water molecules can diffuse into the surface and disrupt the network. Some polymers are more sensitive than others. Thus [[nylon]]s are more sensitive than [[aramid]]s, and [[nylon 6]] more sensitive than [[nylon-11]].

==Symmetric hydrogen bond==
A [[symmetric hydrogen bond]] is a special type of hydrogen bond in which the proton is spaced exactly halfway between two identical atoms. The strength of the bond to each of those atoms is equal. It is an example of a [[three-center four-electron bond]]. This type of bond is much stronger than a "normal" hydrogen bond. The effective bond order is 0.5, so its strength is comparable to a covalent bond. It is seen in ice at high pressure, and also in the solid phase of many anhydrous acids such as [[hydrofluoric acid]] and [[formic acid]] at high pressure. It is also seen in the [[bifluoride]] ion [F--H--F]<sup>−</sup>. Due to severe steric constraint, the protonated form of Proton Sponge (1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene) and its derivatives also have symmetric hydrogen bonds ([N--H--N]<sup>+</sup>),<ref>Khashayar Rajabimoghadam Yousef Darwish Umyeena Bashir Dylan Pitman Sidney Eichelberger Maxime A.

==Dihydrogen bond==
The hydrogen bond can be compared with the closely related [[dihydrogen bond]], which is also an [[Intermolecular force|intermolecular]] bonding interaction involving hydrogen atoms. These structures have been known for some time, and well characterized by [[X-ray crystallography|crystallography]];<ref name=crab>{{cite journal|title = A New Intermolecular Interaction: Unconventional Hydrogen Bonds with Element-Hydride Bonds as Proton Acceptor|last1 = Crabtree|first1 = Robert H. |author-link1=Robert H.

Generally, the hydrogen bond is characterized by a proton acceptor that is a lone pair of electrons in nonmetallic atoms (most notably in the [[nitrogen group|nitrogen]], and [[chalcogen]] groups). In some cases, these proton acceptors may be [[pi-bond]]s or [[metal complexes]]. In the dihydrogen bond, however, a metal hydride serves as a proton acceptor, thus forming a hydrogen-hydrogen interaction. [[Neutron diffraction]] has shown that the [[molecular geometry]] of these complexes is similar to hydrogen bonds, in that the bond length is very adaptable to the metal complex/hydrogen donor system.<ref name=crab/>

==Application to drugs==
Hydrogen bonding is a key to the design of drugs. According to [[Lipinski's rule of five]] the majority of orally active drugs tend to have between five and ten hydrogen bonds. These interactions exist between [[nitrogen]]–[[hydrogen]] and [[oxygen]]–hydrogen centers.<ref name="Lipinski_2004">{{cite journal | author = Lipinski CA | title = Lead- and drug-like compounds: the rule-of-five revolution | journal = Drug Discovery Today: Technologies |date=December 2004 | volume = 1 | issue = 4 | pages = 337–341 | doi = 10.1016/j.ddtec.2004.11.007 | pmid = 24981612 }}</ref> As with many other [[rules of thumb]], many exceptions exist.

Batch reactor symbol

The batch reactor is the generic term for a type of vessel widely used in the process industries. Its name is something of a misnomer since vessels of this type are used for a variety of process operations such as solids dissolution, product mixing, chemical reactions, batch distillation, crystallization, liquid/liquid extraction and polymerization. In some cases, they are not referred to as reactors but have a name which reflects the role they perform (such as crystallizer, or bioreactor).

A typical batch reactor consists of a storage tank with an agitator and integral heating/cooling system. These vessels may vary in size from less than 1 litre to more than 15,000 litres. They are usually fabricated in steel, stainless steel, glass-lined steel, glass or exotic alloy. Liquids and solids are usually charged via connections in the top cover of the reactor. Vapors and gases also discharge through connections in the top. Liquids are usually discharged out of the bottom.

The advantages of the batch reactor lie with its versatility. A single vessel can carry out a sequence of different operations without the need to break containment. This is particularly useful when processing toxic or highly potent compounds.

Agitation

The usual agitator arrangement is a centrally mounted driveshaft with an overhead drive unit. Impeller blades are mounted on the shaft. A wide variety of blade designs are used and typically the blades cover about two thirds of the diameter of the reactor. Where viscous products are handled, anchor shaped paddles are often used which have a close clearance between the blade and the vessel walls.

Most batch reactors also use baffles. These are stationary blades which break up flow caused by the rotating agitator. These may be fixed to the vessel cover or mounted on the interior of the side walls.

Despite significant improvements in agitator blade and baffle design, mixing in large batch reactors is ultimately constrained by the amount of energy that can be applied. On large vessels, mixing energies of more than 5 Watts per litre can put an unacceptable burden on the cooling system. High agitator loads can also create shaft stability problems. Where mixing is a critical parameter, the batch reactor is not the ideal solution. Much higher mixing rates can be achieved by using smaller flowing systems with high speed agitators, ultrasonic mixing or static mixers.

Heating and cooling systems

Products within batch reactors usually liberate or absorb heat during processing. Even the action of stirring stored liquids generates heat. In order to hold the reactor contents at the desired temperature, heat has to be added or removed by a cooling jacket or cooling pipe. Heating/cooling coils or external jackets are used for heating and cooling batch reactors. Heat transfer fluid passes through the jacket or coils to add or remove heat.

Within the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, external cooling jackets are generally preferred as they make the vessel easier to clean. The performance of these jackets can be defined by 3 parameters:

  • response time to modify the jacket temperature
  • uniformity of jacket temperature
  • stability of jacket temperature.

It can be argued that heat transfer coefficient is also an important parameter. It has to be recognized however that large batch reactors with external cooling jackets have severe heat transfer constraints by virtue of design. It is difficult to achieve better than 100 Watts/litre even with ideal heat transfer conditions. By contrast, continuous reactors can deliver cooling capacities in excess of 10,000 W/litre. For processes with very high heat loads, there are better solutions than batch reactors.

Fast temperature control response and uniform jacket heating and cooling is particularly important for crystallization processes or operations where the product or process is very temperature sensitive. There are several types of batch reactor cooling jackets:

Single external jacket

Batch reactor with single external cooling jacket

The single jacket design consists of an outer jacket which surrounds the vessel. Heat transfer fluid flows around the jacket and is injected at high velocity via nozzles. The temperature in the jacket is regulated to control heating or cooling.

The single jacket is probably the oldest design of external cooling jacket. Despite being a tried and tested solution, it has some limitations. On large vessels, it can take many minutes to adjust the temperature of the fluid in the cooling jacket. This results in sluggish temperature control. The distribution of heat transfer fluid is also far from ideal and the heating or cooling tends to vary between the side walls and bottom dish. Another issue to consider is the inlet temperature of the heat transfer fluid which can oscillate (in response to the temperature control valve) over a wide temperature range to cause hot or cold spots at the jacket inlet points.

Half coil jacket

Batch reactor with half coil jacket

The half coil jacket is made by welding a half pipe around the outside of the vessel to create a semi circular flow channel. The heat transfer fluid passes through the channel in a plug flow fashion. A large reactor may use several coils to deliver the heat transfer fluid. Like the single jacket, the temperature in the jacket is regulated to control heating or cooling.

The plug flow characteristics of a half coil jacket permits faster displacement of the heat transfer fluid in the jacket (typically less than 60 seconds). This is desirable for good temperature control. It also provides good distribution of heat transfer fluid which avoids the problems of non uniform heating or cooling between the side walls and bottom dish. Like the single jacket design however the inlet heat transfer fluid is also vulnerable to large oscillations (in response to the temperature control valve) in temperature.

Constant flux cooling jacket

Batch reactor with constant flux (Coflux) jacket

The constant flux cooling jacket is a relatively recent development. It is not a single jacket but has a series of 20 or more small jacket elements. The temperature control valve operates by opening and closing these channels as required. By varying the heat transfer area in this way, the process temperature can be regulated without altering the jacket temperature.

The constant flux jacket has very fast temperature control response (typically less than 5 seconds) due to the short length of the flow channels and high velocity of the heat transfer fluid. Like the half coil jacket the heating/cooling flux is uniform. Because the jacket operates at substantially constant temperature however the inlet temperature oscillations seen in other jackets are absent. An unusual feature of this type jacket is that process heat can be measured very sensitively. This allows the user to monitor the rate of reaction for detecting end points, controlling addition rates, controlling crystallization etc.

Applications

Batch reactors are often used in the process industry. Batch reactors also have many laboratory applications, such as small scale production and inducing fermentation for beverage products. They also have many uses in medical production. Batch reactors are generally considered expensive to run, as well as variable product reliability. They are also used for experiments of reaction kinetics, volatiles and thermodynamics. Batch reactors are also highly used in waste water treatment. They are effective in reducing BOD (biological oxygen demand) of influent untreated water.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
