5. Conclusions and recommendations
This example illustrates how to design a catalytic reactor. The first step is to gather all the physico-chemical properties needed to determine the kinetic regime at the level of the catalyst particles.
The study of how activity behaves over time is essential, firstly to select the most appropriate reactor, and secondly to adopt a reactor operation strategy based on the decrease in catalyst activity over time.
When it comes to the actual modeling, there's one point to bear in mind: generally speaking, the concentrations of gaseous reactants or products are expressed as a function of partial pressures. If you wish to comply with unit specifications, you'll prefer to express pressures in pascals, but when you're dealing with a balanced reaction, the law of mass action is written as a function of partial...
