✦ Synopsis

The distribution of reactants and inert liquid between the vapor and liquid phase in a trickle bed reactor used for hydrotreating is affected by H /feed ratio, relative volatilities and temperature. The consequences of altering these varia 3 les are not always immediately obvious. Studies are reported here for two model reactions, the hydrodeoxygenation of dibenzofuran (DBF) (b-p. 285'C) and the hydrogenation of n-butylbenzene (n-BB)(b.p. 183OC) dissolved in either n-hexadecane (b.p. 287OC) or in squalane (b.p. 35OOC). Experimental results, obtained at low conversions, are compared with theoretical predictions.

## Abstract Liquid holdup and mass transfer rates were measured in a 2.58‐cm I.D. tube, packed with glass beads and granular CuO Β· ZnO catalyst or β‐naphthol particles, and operated as a trickle bed. Gas‐to‐liquid (water) transport coefficients were determined from absorption and desorption experim
