Heterogeneous catalysis transient conditions

The main drawback of kinetic models, based only on steady-state data, is associated with the fact, that start-up and transient regimes cannot be reliably modeled. Kinetic models for nonstationary conditions should be applied also for the processes in fluidized beds, reactions in riser (reactor) - regenerator units with catalyst circulation, as well as for various environmental applications of heterogeneous catalysis, when the composition of the treated gas changes continuously.
