Slurry reactor rapid-injection

Slurry reactors are often used for intrinsic kinetic measurements. In order to alleviate the effects and complications of the initial heat-up period, as well as the induction period, on the kinetic measurements, novel designs have been introduced. Cup-and-cap reactors, falling-basket reactors, rapid-injection reactors, reactors with induction heaters, and microreactors are five such novel designs. Each of these reactors has been found to be successful the first three, however, consider both induction and heat-up periods. The last two reactors alleviate the complications due to the heat-up period only. All of these... 

In order to overcome these problems, a number of investigators have developed rapid-injection reactors. In such systems, coal and/or catalyst are injected into the reactor once the gas and liquid reactants are heated to the desired reaction temperature. The coal and/or catalyst may be mixed with liquid reactant (to form a slurry) and preheated to an allowable temperature where significant reaction does not occur before injecting into the reactor. This minimizes the amount of the coal and/or catalyst left in the injection tube...
