The influence of catalyst particle size upon the reaction rate was studied for the hydrogenation of ethylene with nickel-on-alumina in a packed-bed flow reactor. A threefold increase in particle diameter through a critical size range (0.03to 0.09-cm. diameter, corresponding to a Reynolds number of a

## Abstract The kinetics of ethylene oxidation by air over a supported silver catalyst were investigated in the temperature range 490β620 K. The reaction network was found to be triangular. Under virtually constant oxygen partial pressure (0.2 bar), the following rate relationships, (in mol g^β1^s^
This paper discusses the modelling of xylose hydrogenation kinetics over Raney nickel in aqueous solutions, the determination of the hydrogen solubility in the reaction mixture as well as evaluation of mass transfer effects in the reaction system. The hydrogenation experiments were carried out batch
