CHAPTER 10 SELF TEsT


Moving Bed Reactors
The elementary irreversible gas phase catalytic reaction

is to be carried out in a moving bed reactor at constant temperature. The reactor


contains 5 kg. of catalyst.
The feed is stoichiometric in A and B. The entering concentration of A is 0.2 mol/dm3. The catalyst decay
law is zero order with kD = 0.2 s�1.
What catalyst loading rate is necessary to achieve 40% conversion?

Additional information:

k = 1.0 dm6/(mol�kg. cat�s)

vo = 1 dm3/s

Hint 1 What are the mole balance and the rate law?

Hint 2 What is the equation for catalyst activity as a function of loading rate?

Hint 3 What is the differential equation that combines the mole balance, activity law and rate law?

Hint 4 What is the solution to the equation in Hint 3?

Hint 5 What conversion will be achieved for a catalyst feed rate of 0.5 kg/s?

Hint 6 Sketch the catalyst activity as a function of catalyst weight (i.e.,


distance) down the length such for
a catalyst feed rate of 0.5 kg/s.

Hint 7 What is the maximum conversion that could be achieved (i.e. at infinite catalyst loading rate)?

Hint 8 At what catalyst loading rate (kg/s) will the catalyst activity be exactly zero at the exit of the
reactor?

Hint 9. Loading rate for which a is exactly zero at the exit of reaction.

                                                           

at a loading of 1 kg/s the catalyst activity will be exactly zero at the exit of the reactor.

What does an activity of zero


mean? Can catalyst activity be less than zero?
