✦ Synopsis
The replacement of conventional packed beds of catalyst pellets with novel high conductivity' honeycomb catalysts in industrial externally cooled multitubular fixed-bed reactors for exothermic gas/solid processes offers potential advantages besides reduced pressure drops. Near-isothermal operation could result in safer reaction operation, better catalyst thermal stability, improved selectivities, higher throughputs and more economical reactors with larger tubes. We report herein an experimental and theoretical investigation of this concept.

Physical mechanisms are discussed and crude mathematical models with lumped parameters are developed, which explain the authors recent experimental data [4], concerning temperature hysteresis and multiplicity phenomena for ␣-methylstyrene (AMS) liquid-vapor hydrogenation on a single catalyst pellet.
Compound catalysts involving methanol-synthesis/methanol-conversion functions offer promise for selective conversion of synthesis gas into C2-C 3 hydrocarbons and particularly of C2-C 3 olefins. This approach was followed, by modifying a ZSM5 zeolite with the addition of P compounds. The catalyst wa
