Enhancement of non isothermal autocatalytic reactions by intraparticle diffusion

摘要

A detailed analysis was carried out concerning the autocatalytic reactions of the type: A --> B, A + (n-l)B --> nB, occurring in chemical reactors and accompanied by intraparticle diffusion and external energy transport. The optimum distribution of the sizes of catalyst pellet was found leading to a maximum extent of the non isothermal, heterogeneous autocatalytic reactions.
