Transport Processes in Catalyst Pellets

  • Chapter
Chemical Reactor Design and Technology

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 110))

Abstract

The subject of reaction and diffusion in porous catalysts is now a well established branch of knowledge discussed in several books such as by Aris [1] and Jackson [2]. Its practical importance has long been recognized since the pioneer work by Thiele [3].
