The heart of this unit consists of a three-phase reactor whose substrate is in liquid phase, the reagent is in gaseous phase and the solid catalyst is suspended in the liquid. The unit enables to study the reaction kinetics and the effects of mass-transfer phenomena on reaction rate thanks to a data acquisition software.
TRAINING PROGRAM
This unit enables to deepen the following issues:
• Catalytic reactions in slurry reactors
• Analysis of the effects of mass transfer
