Gas-phase hydrogenation of ethylbenzene over Ni. Comparison of different laboratory fixed bed reactors
Gas phase ethylbenzene hydrogenation was studied over a supported Ni catalyst in two laboratory fixed bed reactors. Difference in deactivation behavior and reaction kinetics was attributed to existence of interparticle heat transfer in the case of reactor with bigger inner diameter.
