Modelling and Simulation of the Monolithic Reactor for Gas-Liquid-Solid Reactions

Abstract

A Mathematical Model and Process Simulations of a Monolith Reactor Operated in Film and Slug Flow Was Presented. the Three-Phase Hydrogenation of Alpha-Methylstyrene into Cumene and a Consecutive Reaction System Were Used as Model Reactions. Hydrogenation Kinetic Parameters Were Estimated by Experimental Data from a Laboratory Batch Reactor. the Simulations for Both Monolithic and Trickle-Bed Reactors Were Conducted under Optimum Operating Conditions of Each System. the Monolith Reactor Had Higher Selectivity and Increased Product Yield. the Improved Performance of Monolithic Reactors over Trickle-Bed Reactors Could Lead to a Justification for Replacing These Traditional Reactors in Many Industrial Applications. This is an Abstract of a Paper Presented at the 7th World Congress of Chemical Engineering (Glasgow, Scotland 7/10-14/2005).
