During the past six months of the project the following tasks have been accomplished: (1) The existing dynamic model has been modified to simulate the performance of the fixed-bed laboratory reactor. (2) The design of a laboratory fixed-bed reactor has been completed and construction is under way. In the next three months research will concentrate on the following areas: (1) completion of the laboratory reactor and fabrication of necessary equipment for analysis of the reactor effluent; (2) model studies using the dynamic simulation program under conditions similar to those of the laboratory reactor; (3) modifications to the existing program to incorporate radial gradients.
