Fixed-Bed Reactor Design and Diagnostics

Gas-Phase Reactions

About this book

Fixed-Bed Reactor Design and Diagnostics: Gas-Phase Reactions presents the essential theoretical and conceptual background of gaseous reactions catalyzed by solid catalysts in fixed beds. This book intends to provide recommendations to professionals who seek for modeling, scale-up, and diagnostics of fixed-bed reactors. The text is divided into three parts. Part I provides the conceptual background and relevant theories. Part II presents recommended mathematical models, scale-up procedures, and diagnostic methods. Part III gives a number of practical examples. The topics that are specifically discussed include heterogeneous catalysis and kinetics; general tubular reactor model; and general diagnostics for fixed-bed reactors. Engineers and professionals working with fixed-bed reactors will find the book highly informative.

Introduction 
As
would
be 
expected, 
a 
number 
of
reactor
configurations 
have 
evolved 
to 
fit 
the 
unique 
requirements 
of 
specific 
types 
of 
reactions 
and 
conditions. 
Some 
of
the 
more 
common 
ones 
used 
for 
gas-phase 
reactions 
are 
summarized 
in 
Table
1.1 
and 
the 
accompanying 
illustrations. 
The 
table 
can 
be 
used 
for 
initial 
selection 
of 
a
given
reaction 
system, 
particularly 
by 
comparing 
it 
with 
the 
known 
systems 
indicated.
