The elementary isothermal gas-phase reaction | ||
|
||
is carried out in a moving-bed reactor. The catalyst decays
by sintering. The moving bed contains 100 kg of catalyst and the catalyst flow rate
through the bed is adjusted so that the exiting catalytic activity is one-fourth
of the entering activity. The specific reaction rate for fresh catalyst is 10 -4
dm 3 /g cat.s.
Pure A enters at a concentration of 0.005 mol/dm 3
and a volumetric flow rate of 3.75 dm 3 / s. The residence
time of a catalyst particle in the reactor is 5 min. What conversion can be expected? [Final Exam, Winter 1994] |
