Agitated slurry reactor modeling

AGITATED SLURRY REACTORS 3.5.1 Agitated slurry reactor models... 

With regard to an effective use of catalyst it is necessary to realize a uniform distribution over the entire reactor. There are a number of experimental studies reported in the literature (1-5) which show that even for small particles well pronounced solid concentration profiles can be observed in the gas agitated bubble column slurry reactors (BCSR). A dispersion-sedimentation model has been proposed, which successfully describes measured data (2-4). 

In the following sections, the solutions of the models as well as examples will be presented for the case of slurry agitated reactors.
