The cross-flow catalyst reactor. An alternative for liquid phase hydrogenations

摘要: Abstract Liquid phase hydrogenation of aqueous nitrobenzoic acid was performed in the presence a palladium catalyst. The carrier catalyst designed for cross-flow processing with inflow hydrogen separate channels perpendicular to liquid phase. consisted number thin, porous plates, separated by corrugated planes. two reactants thus penetrate catalytical plates from different sides. effectiveness factor shown be much higher than corresponding hydrogenations trickle-bed. properties were discussed connection mathematical model reaction and mass transport pores
