✦ Synopsis

A novel annular catalytic reactor was experimentally and theoretically characterized. CO combustion was adopted as test reaction to probe the reactor behavior under chemical and under diffusion controlled regimes. It was found that mass transfer is sensitive to the eccentricity of the annular duct. The analysis evidenced that much higher space velocities and reaction temperatures, as well as better isothermal conditions can be guaranteed by the present annular reactor in comparison with standard fixed-bed reactors. 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.

## Abstract A short‐contact‐time catalytic combustor described here is capable of incinerating air streams with low concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at conversions exceeding 99.5% for contact times on the order of 5 ms. This is accomplished by adding methane to the VOC‐containing

## Abstract A novel approach to the selective hydrogenation of acetylene involves a short contact time reactor. A thin Pd/γ‐Al~2~O~3~ catalytic membrane (about 5 ΞΌm thick) was observed to be void of minor defects. Forcing a dilute C~2~H~2~/H~2~/Ar mixture through the layer produced high conversions
