Unit 19

Catalysis

Objectives

After completing Unit 15 of the text and associated website material, the reader will be able to:

  • Size isothermal reactors for reactions with Lanqmuir-Hinschelwood kinetics
  • Discuss the different types of catalyst deactivation and the rector types and describe schemes that can help offset the deactivation
  • Analyze catalyst decay and conversion for CSTRs and PFRs with temperature-time trajectories, moving bed
