Objective
A NEW CATALYST FIXED BED REACTOR WITH AN INTEGRATED HIGHLY EFFICIENT HEAT EXCHANGER IS TO BE DEVELOPED. THE ESSENTIAL IS THE APPLICATION OF POROUS SINTERMETAL WITH FOLLOWING CHARACTERISTICS : GOOD PERMEABILITY, MECHANICAL AND THERMAL STABILITY, GOOD HEAT CONDUCTIVITY, WIDE INNER SURFACE.
Fundamental investigations into the development of a catalytic fixed bed reactor with an integrated heat exchanger have been carried out. The results prove that structures of porous sintered metal show much higher heat conductivity than other permeable structures. Small temperature gradients, therefore, can be utilised in such a reactor to control the reaction. A method for the deposition of catalytic materials on the surface of porous sintered metal was developed and catalysts for combustion were prepared. Powders and tube shaped reactors for the catalytic combustion of methane and the partial oxidation of hydrogen sulphide have been examined. For hydrogen sulphide it was shown that a ferrous chromium material was catalytically active and sufficiently stable over long periods. In this way it is possible to produce catalytic reactors having the porous material as a catalytic surface itself. The sintering behaviour of various alloys has also been examined and different shaped samples of porous sintered metal were manufactured and tested. To verify measurements a model reactor with an integrated heat exchanger was constructed.
THE WORK IS DIVIDED IN 4 PARTS :
1) DEVELOPMENT OF PREPARATION METHODS FOR MECHANICALLY STABLE CATALYST LAYERED ON SINTERMETAL SURFACES.
2) EXAMINATION OF THE FLUID AND THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF A CATALYST FIXED BED REACTOR WITH INTEGRATED EVAPORATING UNIT (PRESSURE LOSS, HEAT TRANSFER, LIMITING PARAMETERS...)
3) BASIC RESEARCH ON CATALYTIC BEHAVIOUR, EFFICIENCY ON THE NEW BED REACTOR ON 3 REACTIONS OF SPECIAL INTEREST IN CHEMICAL ENGINEERING (METHANE COMBUSTION - PARTIAL OXIDATION OF SULPHUR-HYDROGEN, PARTIAL OXIDATION OF ETHYLENE)
4) DEVELOPMENT OF A FUNCTIONAL EXPERIMENTAL UNIT (EVAPORATING UNIT)
