✦ Synopsis

The isothermal decomposition of hydrogen peroxide on a CuCr catalyst in a laboratory scale trickle bed reactor was used to test model predictions of the dependence of liquid reactant conversion on space time for different operating conditions. It is assured that the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is a first order liquid-limited reactinn. Comparison of model predictions and experimental data indicates that both external mass transfer effects and incomplete external catalyst wetting need to be accounted for. Dudukovic's (1977) approximate model for the catalyst effectiveness factor adequately simulates both effects.

Trickle bed reactors are governed by equations of flow in porous media such as Darcy's law and the conservation of mass. Our numerical method for solving these equations is based on a total-velocity splitting, sequential formulation which leads to an implicit pressure equation and a semi-implicit ma

## Abstract Desulfurization and hydrogenation of aromatics in diesel oil were investigated in an isothermally operated trickle‐bed reactor 500 mm long and with a 19‐mm ID, using commercial bifunctional NiMo/Al~2~O~3~ catalysts. The operating temperature, pressure, liquid hourly space velocity, gas/
