Chapter 12 Multiphase reactions and reactors
Chapter objectives
After the completion of this chapter, the successful student must be able to
• Select the most suitable multiphase reactor for the reaction at hand.
• Determine mass transfer coefficients and gas (or liquid) bubble sizes from physical properties and flow parameters of the fluids.
• Differentiate various multiphase reactor types such as mechanically agitated slurry reactors (MASRs), bubble column slurry reactors (BCSRs), loop slurry reactors (LSRs), and trickle bed reactors (TBRs).
• Collect and interpret laboratory data for multiphase reactions.
Introduction
The thrust of this chapter is on reactions and reactors involving a gas phase, a liquid phase, and a solid ...
