The catalytic hydrogenation of alpha-methylstyrene to cumene is studied in a laboratoy trickle-bed reactor operated at low liquid flow rates. Under this condition, wetting is not complete, vaporization of the liquid phase may occur, and reaction could proceed via liquid-solid and gas-solid catalysis

Continual catalytic wet oxidation of phenol and its derivatives as a suitable chemical pretreatment before a biological treatment process was investigated. The evaluation of (i) the inΓuence of amino-, carboxy-and sulfo-phenol substituents on the course of the oxidation of hydroxyl-aromatics, (ii) t
In this study, the oxidation of SO 2 on activated carbon (AcC) by using distilled water and air was carried out in a laboratory scale trickle bed reactor (TBR). Distilled water and air containing 1.7 % (v/v) SO 2 were fed co-currently downward through a fixed bed of AcC particles in a range of 1Β±7 c
Expressions of the overall effectiveness factor as a function of the wetting efficiency, the Biot numbers for the gas and liquid covered parts of the catalyst and the Thiele modulus have been developed for a slab, a cylinder and a sphere.
