Learning Outcomes
1.
List types of catalyst and methods of characterization it
based on adsorption and mercury intrusion.
2.
Determine reaction rate equation based on reaction control,
adsorption control and diffusion control for single site and
dual sites.
3.
Demonstrate effects of external mass transfer on
concentration and temperature gradients between the bulk
phase and the catalyst surface.
4.
Analyze effects of internal mass transfer on concentration
and temperature gradients inside catalyst pellet and the use
of several criteria to evaluate the mechanism that control
the reaction.
5.
Design slurry and plug flow reactors.
6.
Assess effective teamwork practices.
Synopsis
This course introduces the properties, characterization and
manufacturing of catalyst ensued by the catalytic reactions and
its criteria. All possible mechanisms for the catalytic reactions
based on reaction control, adsorption control and diffusion
control will be covered. The course covers also the effects of
external mass transfer as well as the internal mass transfer on
concentration and temperature profiles inside the pellet and its
relation to the effectiveness factor and Thiele Modulus. The
above principles are applicable for the design of slurry and plug
flow reactors.
