Summary
Chemical Reactors II - Non-ideal catalytic reactors - residence time distribution, modelling (cascade and axial dispersion model) - Mass transfer limitations (internal / intragranular and external limitations) and their impact on the catalytic performance (conversion, selectivity, deterioration of kinetic data) and on economics - Heat transfer limitations (internal and external) and their impact on the catalytic performance (efficiency, hot-spot formation, light-off, safety and thermal runaway) - Pressure drop and the balance between mass transfer limitations including economical impacts - Examples: Micro-reactors, fluidized-bed reactors, trickle-bed reactors
Educational goals
- Identify the function of a catalytic reactor – difference between ideal and real reactor - model the function of a heterogeneous catalytic reactor - optimize a heterogeneous catalytic reactor for a given objective
Sustainable development goals
Knowledge control procedures

Pedagogy
Chemical reactors II - Non-ideal catalytic reactors: 16h Lecture /Seminar Knowledge 1- Difference between ideal and non-ideal reactors 2- Methods for modeling ideal and non-ideal reactors 3- How to optimize a non-ideal reactor (parameters related to the catalyst and the reaction conditions) 4- Identification of falsified kinetic data 5- About enzyme reactors in homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis Competences After the UE, the student is sensed to be capable to: 1- Identify and model the hydrodynamic behavior of a non-ideal reactor 2- Dimension a reactor, including catalyst and parameters for a given reaction 3- Optimize a reactor for a reaction of a given kinetic 4- Analyze and model the behavior of a non-ideal reactor 5- implementation of enzyme in reactors for biomass treatment for bio-molecule and chemicals production
