Abstract
AbstractA method is presented for using an adiabatic reactor to study the kinetics of reactions of gases on solid catalysts. The method is based on measurement of the steady state axial profile of temperature or composition in a specially designed adiabatic packed bed reactor. Reaction rates are calculated from these measured profiles by graphical differentitation. The method is applicable for multireaction systems and for any type of kinetic behavior.The method was demonstrated by an experimental study of cumene cracking an silica‐alumina catalyst at 420° to 480°C. The measured reaction rates are in satisfactory agreement with results obtained by other investigators who used isothermal reactors. Areas of application of the adiabatic method are suggested.
