Title: Engineering aspects of gas-liquid catalytic reactions

Journal Article · · Catal. Rev., Sci. Eng.; (United States)

A review of factors which affect selectivity and product yield in gas absorption with liquid-phase catalytic reaction and which must be considered in reactor design covers the chemistry and kinetics of homolytic and heterolytic oxidation reactions in the production, e.g., of acetic acid from butane catalyzed by cobalt acetate in a sparged reactor, hydroformylation, carbonylation, hydrogenation, and acid-base catalysis; mass transfer, phase equilibria, and the effect of the chemical reaction on mass transfer rates in gas-liquid reaction systems; modeling of reactors in which the gas is the dispersed phase, including stirred tank and bubble column reactors; and modeling of distillation with catalytic reaction.
