Abstract
Abstract
The ethylene hydrogenation reaction was investigated in a kinetic turbo reactor and a one-sided single-pellet reactor. An empirical kinetic expression was fitted to experimental results taken from the turbo reactor, and the gas compositions at the catalyst centers were measured for three different pore structures by means of the single-pellet reactor. A bimodal pore model was developed and applied to the computation of the gas composition profiles inside the three pore structures. The calculated results were compared to the measurements. A distinct influence of the pore structures on the gas fluxes and concentration profiles inside the pores could be detected which demonstrates that the proper choice of the pellet pore structure is of importance for a high conversion.
