Significant radial profiles of concentration and temperature may exist in packed bed adsorbers, leading to a different breakthrough behavior at the wall than in the core of the bed. Respective data have been gained by near-infrared tomography for zeolite and water in relatively narrow tubes, and are

Abstract
Unsteady‐state operations are known to enhance the performance of some packed‐bed reactor systems. However, negative effects of this type of operation should not be neglected. Temperature excursions developed during transients may accelerate some deactivation mechanisms, reducing catalyst lifetime and selectivity. Temperature response to perturbations in reactant concentration was studied for CO oxidation over Pt/Al~2~O~3~ in a packed‐bed reactor. Experiments were conducted in the CO concentration range for which multiple steady states are observed. Temperature and concentration profiles in the packed‐bed reactor at steady state were found to depend on the dynamic history of the reactor prior to the steady‐state condition.

The performance of a packed-bed biological reactor has been analysed under sinusoidal variations of substrate concentration and temperature for zero-order, first-order and Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The model equations were solved by the method of orthogonal collocation. The results show that the cy
