PACKED-BED TUBULAR REACTOR FOR HETEROGENEOUS EXOTHERMIC OR ENDOTHERMIC CATALYTIC REACTIONS

摘要

A reactor for Fischer-Tropsch reaction effected in a three-phase system essentially consisting of a gaseous reagent phase, a liquid reacted phase and a solid catalytic phase, wherein the solid catalytic phase is composed of packed bodies encaged in at least one open-cell foam structure with a high thermal conductivity.
