Abstract
Despite the widespread use of supported liquid phase catalysts (SLPC) in industrial practice, the basic phenomenon of liquid dispersion which affects the diffusion rates of reaching components and gas-liquid interfacial area, is not well understood. The paper identifies the associated problems and formulates a model for the pore structure of real catalysts based on intersecting cylinders to study the effects of capillary forces. The formation of liquid clusters of dimensions larger than the pore dimensions and their subsequent effects on the performance of SLPC can be studied using this model. The model provides a basis for manipulating parameters that can reduce such cluster formation.
