Sectional automatic adjustment of catalyst layers in gas and liquid phase reactors

Abstract

The paper provides a new approach to the high-quality implementation of gas-liquid and catalytic gas-and liquid-phase reactions in displacement reactors. The authors have described the scheme and algorithm for automatic control of the parameters of the catalyst layer. The authors have developed algorithms (mode) for automatic adjustment of the hydrodynamic and thermal modes of the catalytic section and also the principle of automatic adjustment of the system to a gradual or impulse adjusting mode which in case of liquid-phase reaction products results in active dispersion and mutual mixing of reaction products and sharp activation of hydrodynamic and diffusion processes. The article also covers the main requirements for elastically deformable catalytic layers and the advantages of using metalworking machines wastes as adjustable catalyst layers which will have a very significant environmental effect within the recycling and remarketing program.
