Notes:
Three-phase reactors involving a solid catalyst are normally used for production of product or removal of impurity. Equations are presented for these two measures of reactor performance for a first-order, reversible or irreversible reaction in an isothermal reactor. The results are presented in terms of dimensionless groups of the pertinent mass transfer, kinetic, and equilibrium (solubility) properties, and the gas and liquid flow rates. From the equations given, it is possible to predict the relative performance of concurrent (trickle bed) and countercurrent flow reactors and also the effect of mixing in the gas or liquid streams on performance.
