Abstract

Monolithic catalysts have been widely used in gas–solid phase systems for a variety of environmental applications. More recently they are being investigated for use in three phase systems however there are few catalysts available commercially for these applications. Monoliths offer several advantages over traditional three phase slurry and trickle bed systems, in that they can be easily separated from the system, offer low pressure drop and high rates of adiabatic cooling, and are mostly linear when scaling up. In this chapter, we present a new and novel three phase catalyst, Activated Carbon Monolith Catalyst (ACMC), utilizing a newly developed integrated activated carbon monolith as an alternative to granular catalysts.
