Tutorial Katalis Berpori

The document discusses sizing catalyst pellets for a reaction to ensure pore diffusion resistance does not limit the rate. It is determined that: 1) For a reaction on new catalyst pellets, a diameter of 0.36 cm or less is needed to avoid pore diffusion limitations based on the catalyst properties. 2) For a second reaction, a pellet diameter of 0.24 cm or less is calculated to prevent pore diffusion effects from slowing the rate. 3) To virtually eliminate internal diffusion resistance, pellets for a third reaction should have a diameter smaller than 0.72 mm.

Our packed bed reactor runs the gas phase reaction A → R at 10 atm and
336"C, and gives 90% conversion of a pure A feed. However, the catalyst
salesman guarantees that in the absence of any pore diffusion resistance
our reaction will proceed on his new improved porous catalyst (De =
