Notes:
The non-steady-state behaviour of a fixed bed reactor controlled by periodical direction reversal of reactant feed, applied in catalytic oxidation of industrial waste gases, containing organic compounds and carbon monoxide, has been investigated. The effects of the type of oxidized compound, its initial feed concentration, linear gas velocity, inerts-to-catalyst ratio and inerts thermophysical characteristics on the formation of reactor concentration and temperature fields were elucidated. It was shown that autothermal reactor behaviour is guaranteed by concentrations of the oxidized component which ensure an adiabatic temperature increase in excess of 20 °C. Deviations of either flow rate or initial concentration of the oxidized compound do not disturb the operational stability.
