Reactors
- The rate of reaction in every instance must be established in the laboratory.
- Catalyst particles are 0.1 mm dia in fluidised beds, 1 mm in slurry beds and 2-5 mm in fixed beds.
- The optimum proportions of stirred tank reactors are liquid level equal to tank diameter; at high pressures, slimmer proportions are more economical.
The information is arranged by commonly recognised categories. In some instances, definitions and general statements have been included for clarity.
