Use it in solution

Give two advantages and two disadvantages of the batch process.

Advantages - cost effective for small quantities

                         - range of products can be made in the same vessel

 

Disadvantages - exothermic reactions are more difficult to control

                               - charging and emptying the reactor is time consuming

Give two advantages and two disadvantages of the continuous process. 

Advantages - suited to high tonnage production

                         - contamination risk is low

 

Disadvantages - higher capital cost before any production can occur + not cost effective when run below full capacity

                               - contamination risk is higher when used for two or more products
