Multiphase reactors are found in diverse applications such as in manufacture of petroleum-
based fuels and products, in production of commodity and specialty chemicals …

Conventional and emerging processes that require the application of multiphase reactors
are reviewed with an emphasis on catalytic processes. In the past, catalyst discovery and …

The central theme addressed in this paper is: how do we arrive at the “ideal” reactor
configuration meeting most closely with the process requirements? The problem of reactor …

In multiphase flow reaction systems, in general, an extrapolation of small diameter behavior
to larger ones is always an important and challenging task. The critical issue in such an …

This book presents papers on chemical plant reactors. Topics considered include mass
transfer coupled with chemical reaction, the hydrodynamics of fixed bed reactors, mass …

Population balance equations have been combined to a classical hydrodynamic Euler/Euler
simulation to investigate the operation of a cylindrical bubble column. The MUSIG (mutiple …

Evidence for the existence of multiple hydrodynamic states in trickle bed reactors with small
particles is produced. These states are characterized by significantlydifferent pressure …

This study compares the performance of laboratory trickle-bed and upflow reactors over a
range of operating conditions, using the hydrogenation of α-methylstyrene to cumene in …

The knowledge of the flow patterns of each phase of bubble column reactors is of
considerable importance for the rational design and scale-up. The hydrodynamic models for …

One two-phase bubble column and two three-phase slurry reactors have been
experimentally characterised with special emphasis on bubble size distribution, liquid …
