Electrochemical method was used to study the mass transfer between the solid particles and the flowing liquid in a packed bed. From the limiting current of a single active particle immersed in inactive glass particles of the same size and shape. the mass transfer coefficients can be derived. Variou

β¦ Synopsis
A reaction engineering model and an electrochemical reactor model are developed for the reduction of nitrobenzene to paminophenol in a packed bed electrode reactor. The reactor model is based on a simplification of the two-dimensional Poisson equation for the potential distribution. The predictions of the model are in reasonable agreement with the experimental results. The process can be operated at a superficial current density greater than 1500Am-', with an average selectivity greater than 80%, and a current efficiency > 75% for paminophenol in the experimental packed electrode reactor.
