✦ Synopsis

The effect of internal diffusion on dehydration of methanol on model pellets of porous catalyst (sulfonated stymm-divinylbenzene ion exchange resin) was studied experimentally. The results proved that bulk diffusion of a multicomponent reaction mixture in a porous catalyst can be satisfactorily described by Stefan-Maxwell equations. The kinetics of methanol dehydration on catalyst particles, used for preparation of model pellets, was studied independently.
