Experiments have been carried out in an industrial scale pilot plant reactor and a microreactor to investigate the reversible/irreversible deactivation of a V20~/Ti02 catalyst used for the partial oxidation of o-xylene to phthalic anhydride. The experimental results indicate that unless the catalyst

β¦ Synopsis
This paper develops a new on-line parameter estimation strategy, which takes advantage of BFGS formula to update the inverse Hessian matrix, and one-dimensional search to accelerate the tracking speed. The dynamic model for fixed-bed reactors is lumped to a proper form for identification by double collocation. The gradients of the quadratic objective function with respect to the estimated parameters are obtained in a more accm~ate way. The method needs low intensive computation, proved to be superior to the traditional method, i.e. the recursive least squares algorithm with forgetting factor, in terms of the speed of tracking, robustness in the presence of errors of the model parameters, and the ability to handle nonlinearity of the fixed-bed reactor.

The integral reactor is most critical for experimental reaction engineering. However, its design does not come up to current requirements. Based on a tested modular construction principle, new modules for multifunctional integral pilot reactors with a wide range of applications were developed. These
