The Feasibility Research of Using an Intensified Continuous Mini-Reactor to Replace a Discontinuous Reactor

Article Preview

Abstract:

An intensified continuous mini-reactor is introduced, to replace traditional discontinuous reactor, using in three-phase catalytic slurry hydrogenation. Under high pressure intensification, continuous mini-reactor behaves excellent performances of mass transfer and heat transfer, and presents the advantages of smaller volume, faster reaction rates, higher conversion and no solvent addition. The steady-state mathematic model is established, and the characteristic times of mass transfer and heat transfer are analyzed based on mass balance and energy balance Eq.s, the results can efficiently help the reactor design and optimization.
