Abstract

As an example of the liquid-phase hydrogenation of methyl-phenol ketone to 1-phenylethanol, variants of the construction of a pilot reactor are considered for performing long-term tests of heterogeneous catalysts of a fixed bed. Calculations for the reactor unit during hydrogenation on NTK-11 are presented as an example. It is shown that a cascade of three adiabatic reactors with a catalyst bed height of 4.5 m each is needed to ensure a residual reactant concentration below 1 wt %.
