Catalyst Effectiveness. Even at steady-state, isothermal conditions, consideration must be given to the possible loss in catalyst activity resulting from gradients. The loss is usually calculated based on the effectiveness factor, which is the diffusion-limited reaction rate within catalyst pores divided by the reaction rate at catalyst surface conditions (50). The effectiveness factor E, in turn, is related to the Thiele modulus,

first-order rate constant, a the internal surface area, and the effective diffusivity. It is desirable for E to be as close as possible to its maximum value of unity. Various formulas have been developed for E, which are particularly usehil for analyzing reactors that are potentially subject to thermal instabilities, such as hot spots and temperature mnaways (1,48,51). [Pg.516]

The result is shown in Figure 10, which is a plot of the dimensionless effectiveness factor as a function of the dimensionless Thiele modulus ( ), which is R.(k/Dwhere R is the radius of the catalyst particle and k is the reaction rate constant. The effectiveness factor is defined as the ratio of the rate of the reaction divided by the rate that would be observed in the absence of a mass transport influence. The effectiveness factor would be unity if the catalyst were nonporous. Therefore, the reaction rate is... [Pg.171]

Figure 10 shows that Tj is a unique function of the Thiele modulus. When the modulus ( ) is small (- SdSl), the effectiveness factor is unity, which means that there is no effect of mass transport on the rate of the catalytic reaction. When ( ) is greater than about 1, the effectiveness factor is less than unity and the reaction rate is influenced by mass transport in the pores. When the modulus is large (- 10), the effectiveness factor is inversely proportional to the modulus, and the reaction rate (eq. 19) is proportional to k ( ), which, from the definition of ( ), implies that the rate and the observed reaction rate constant are proportional to (1 /R)(f9This result shows that both the rate constant, ie, a measure of the intrinsic activity of the catalyst, and the effective diffusion coefficient, ie, a measure of the resistance to transport of the reactant offered by the pore stmcture, influence the rate. It is not appropriate to say that the reaction is diffusion controlled it depends on both the diffusion and the chemical kinetics. In contrast, as shown by equation 3, a reaction in solution can be diffusion controlled, depending on D but not on k. [Pg.172]

The mass transport influence is easy to diagnose experimentally. One measures the rate at various values of the Thiele modulus the modulus is easily changed by variation of R, the particle size. Cmshing and sieving the particles provide catalyst samples for the experiments. If the rate is independent of the particle size, the effectiveness factor is unity for all of them. If the rate is inversely proportional to particle size, the effectiveness factor is less than unity and

experimental points allow triangulation on the curve of Figure 10 and estimation of Tj and ( ). It is also possible to estimate the effective diffusion coefficient and thereby to estimate Tj and ( ) from a single measurement of the rate (48). [Pg.172]

Tinkler and Metzner (1961) executed a large number of computations for simultaneous equations by approximate and exact methods and presented their results on numerous graphs. One of those is shown in Figure 1.6.1. Please note that on this figure the parameter is e=y P De/at in the notation of this book, and the abscissa = is the Thiele modulus. [Pg.27]

No industrially significant reaction has 3 > 0,3 (or with y = 20, and D/a = 1, 5 > 5) and only above this value are the interesting S-shaped curves possible. Of the three values of T, the effectiveness at one value of the Thiele modulus < >, the middle one is an artificial, non-existent solution. The two other values for T show the possibility of discontinuity inside the pellet. While this is possible, it is very unlikely to occur. [Pg.28]

Diffusion effects can be expected in reactions that are very rapid. A great deal of effort has been made to shorten the diffusion path, which increases the efficiency of the catalysts. Pellets are made with all the active ingredients concentrated on a thin peripheral shell and monoliths are made with very thin washcoats containing the noble metals. In order to convert 90% of the CO from the inlet stream at a residence time of no more than 0.01 sec, one needs a first-order kinetic rate constant of about 230 sec-1. When the catalytic activity is distributed uniformly through a porous pellet of 0.15 cm radius with a diffusion coefficient of 0.01 cm2/sec, one obtains a Thiele modulus y> = 22.7. This would yield an effectiveness factor of 0.132 for a spherical geometry, and an apparent kinetic rate constant of 30.3 sec-1 (106). [Pg.100]

The solution of this equation is in the form of a Bessel function 32. Again, the characteristic length of the cylinder may be defined as the ratio of its volume to its surface area in this case, L = rcJ2. It may be seen in Figure 10.13 that, when the effectiveness factor rj is plotted against the normalised Thiele modulus, the curve for the cylinder lies between the curves for the slab and the sphere. Furthermore, for these three particles, the effectiveness factor is not critically dependent on shape. [Pg.643]
