Abstract

The inversion of sucrose by partially deactivated ion exchange resin catalysts has been studied in a fixed bed reactor under conditions where intraparticle diffusion of sucrose is slow. Results show that the reaction remains apparently first order for deactivated catalyst. Activity is directly related to hydrogen content of the resin and is also dependent on the nature of the ion used to poison the catalyst.
