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. The effect of particle shape on the overall effectiveness fac

✦ Synopsis
Ahstraet-The behavior of a trickle bed in which the catalytic packing was incompletely wetted was investigated using the selective hydrogenation of crotonaldehyde to n-butyraldehyde as a model reaction. The reaction was carried out at near ambient conditions using palladium deposited on porous ahunina pellets as the catalyst. It was found that even when the extent of wetting was large, reaction taking place on the dry parts of the catalyst largely dominated the overall reaction rate.
