The temperature‐scanning adiabatic plug‐flow reactor

B. W. Wojciechowski

Open publisher page 6 citations

Abstract

Abstract This work introduces the Temperature‐Scanning Adiabatic Plug‐Flow Reactor (TSAR‐PF), a fast and efficient method for studying kinetics. The proposed method of operation and data reduction offers an attractive alternative to the isothermal methods presently used in kinetic studies and catalyst evaluation and reduces the labour required to collect such data by some orders of magnitude, making studies over a broad range of conditions possible at reasonable cost. The proposed experimental method involves ramping (scanning) of the input temperature to an adiabatic plug‐flow reactor while recording both conversion and output temperature. The interpretation of this data to yield rate parameters is described.
