Application Catalytic Three-Phase Hydrogenation of Citral in the Monolith Reactor

S Application Catalytic Three-Phase Hydrogenation of Citral in the Monolith Reactor 

The weighted sum of squares between measured and estimated concentrations (Appendix 10) was minimized by a hybrid Simplex-Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm. The model equations were solved in situ in the parameter estimation by the BD method (Appendix 2). The estimated parameters were the kinetic and adsorption equilibrium constants of the system. The simulation results revealed that the model was able to describe the behavior of the system. The parameter values were reasonable and comparable with the values obtained from citral hydrogenation in a slurry reactor [12].
