This paper studies the sensitivity behaviour of the sinter metal packed bed reactor for the methane catalytic combustion. The mathematical model of the reactor can be viewed as a conjugated G-raetz problem. The reaction zone is described by the pseudo-homogeneous two-dimensional model with radial di

β¦ Synopsis
A research project was carried out with the aim to design, construct and test a sintered metal reactor using the catalytic combustion of methane. A mathematical model predicting the heat conductivity and permeability of sintered metal from its basic properties was also developed. The process performance was improved by combining heat transfer and chemical reaction. A better temperature tuning in the reactor was possible and the emission of CO and NO, was prevented. cm European Communities 1997.

## Abstract Forced periodic operation can lead to improved reaction processes. Such operation is studied for the example of the application of a cascade of connected adiabatic fixedβbed reactors to perform catalytic total oxidation. It is shown that the periodic operation of the configuration consi
