Rate catalyst

Figure 8 shows the characteristic sawtooth temperature profile which represents the thermodynamic inefficiency of this reactor type as deviations from the maximum reaction rate. Catalyst productivity is further reduced because not all of the feed gas passes through all of the catalyst. However, the quench converter has remained the predominant reactor type with a proven record of reflabiUty. 

Thus the ECCU always operates in complete heat balance at any desired hydrocarbon feed rate and reactor temperature this heat balance is achieved in units such as the one shown in Eigure 1 by varying the catalyst circulation rate. Catalyst flow is controlled by a sHde valve located in the catalyst transfer line from the regenerator to the reactor and in the catalyst return line from the reactor to the regenerator. In some older style units of the Exxon Model IV-type, where catalyst flow is controlled by pressure balance between the reactor and regenerator, the heat-balance control is more often achieved by changing the temperature of the hydrocarbon feed entering the riser.

The catalyst should be reduced and sulfided during the initial stages of operation before use. Other catalyst systems used in HDS are NiO/MoOs and NiOAVOs. Because mass transfer has a significant influence on the reaction rates, catalyst performance is significantly affected by the particle size and pore diameter. 

Consider reformulating the catalyst—custom formulations are available. Increasing rare-earth content can reduce the wet gas rate. Catalyst is usually selected for properties other than its ability to flow. However, if it does not flow, it is not going to work well. Catalyst physical properties should be compared with those of catalysts that have circulated well. Evaluate the economics of using metal passivation additives and other catalyst enhancing additives.

Without the influence of burning rate catalysts most of these hydrocarbon prop bits have similar burning rates and ballistic behavior. They may differ significantly in mechanical properties, particularly as a function of temp. Most hydrocarbon-based composites are used in larger rockets because of their ease of fabrication and high specific impulse. Polaris first and second stages, the Titan 3C booster rocket and Mlnuteman are all powered with composite proplnts...

Sayles (Ref 67) combined n-butylferrocene with l-(2,3-epoxyaliphatic) carboianes of at least 3 carbonations in the aliphatic chain to function both as burning rate catalysts and cross-linking agents for carboxylated polybutadiene and acrylate binders. The use of 1,2-bis(2,3-epoxy-piopyl) carborane and 1-(2,3-epoxypropyl) car-borane boosted the burning rate of a butyl-ferrocene propint from 1.2 to 1.9 inches/sec as the data in Table 32 indicates...

In heterogeneous catalysis reactions take place at the surface of the catalyst. In order to maximize the production rates, catalysts are, in general, porous materials. In practice, the surface area of catalysts ranges from a few up to 1500 square metres per gram of catalyst. It is instructive to calculate the specific surface area as a function of the particle size. 

Parameters such as feed rate, catalyst bed temperature, and reaction pressure were optimized by use of the temporary on-line LC installation. Reactor upsets could also be monitored. Figure 10 demonstrates how continuous monitoring can aid in detection of an upset. Due to a problem with a level control valve, the reactor filled with liquid, preventing the reaction... 

The global rates of heat generation and gas evolution must be known quite accurately for inherently safe design.. These rates depend on reaction kinetics, which are functions of variables such as temperature, reactant concentrations, reaction order, addition rates, catalyst concentrations, and mass transfer. The kinetics are often determined at different scales, e.g., during product development in laboratory tests in combination with chemical analysis or during pilot plant trials. These tests provide relevant information regarding requirements...

In both the OSHA PSM Standard and the EPA RMP regulation, the PHA element does not currently specify the factors that must be considered to effectively manage reactive hazards. Present requirements should be augmented to explicitly require an evaluation of such factors as rate and quantity of heat generated maximum operating temperature to avoid decomposition thermostability of reactants, reaction mixtures, byproduct waste streams, and products effect of charging rates, catalyst addition, and possible contaminants and understanding the consequences of runaway reactions or toxic gas evolution.

The relationship between temperature sensitivity and burning rate is shown in Fig. 7.21 as a function of AP particle size and burning rate catalyst (BEFP).li31 The temperature sensitivity decreases when the burning rate is increased, either by the addition of fine AP particles or by the addition of BEFP. The results of the temperature sensitivity analysis shown in Fig. 7.22 indicate that the temperature sensitivity of the condensed phase, W, defined in Eq. (3.80), is higher than that of the gas phase, 5), defined in Eq. (3.79). In addition, 4> becomes very small when the propel-...

Overaeration of an unstable standpipe is a common response to process or catalyst changes not easily recognized. Factors influencing standpipe operation such as catalyst mass flux rate, catalyst density and PSD, standpipe aeration and pressure profile, and unit configuration should be thoroughly evaluated before making large adjustments to the aeration.
