Cycloalkene Hydrogenation Investigated in Micro Reactors

3 Cycloalkene Hydrogenation Investigated in Micro Reactors Cas/liquid reaction 16 [CL 16] Catalytic hydrc enation of cydohexene 

The reaction is carried out using a Pt/Al203 catalyst [11,12]. Information on this reaction when conducted in trickle-bed reactors is available, comprising flow-pattern maps, kinetic data, mass transfer data and energy dissipation data (see original citations in [11]). 

The initial reaction rate of a non-porous single-channel micro reactor, filled with porous catalyst particles, was 2.0 10 mol min [12]. The same value of the porous 10-channel micro reactor was about three times larger. When normalized for the metal content of the device, the reaction rates of the porous reactor and the particle-containing reactor become similar, 6.5 10 and 4.5 10 mol min m , respectively.
