Three -phase Reactors- Advantages and
Disadvantages
Advantages Disadvantages
BubbleFixed- BedReactor
High liquid holdup,therefore, catalyst arecompletely wetted, better
temperature control, and nochanneling problems.
Gas-liquid mass transfer ishigher than in Trickle beddue to higher gas-liquidinteraction.
Axial back mixing ishigher than trickle-beds, conversion is
lower.
Feasibility of liquid sidehomogeneousreactions
Pressure drop is high
Flooding problems mayoccur.

Theory of Catalytic Gas- Liquid
ReactionsA(G) + B(L) C
Gaseous reactant A reacts with non-volatileliquid reactant B on solid catalyst sites.
Mechanism Of Three- Phase Reactions:-
Mass Transfer of component A from bulkgas to gas-liquid interface
Mass transfer of component A from gas-liquid interface to bulk liquid
Mass transfer of A& B from bulk liquid tocatalyst surface

Intraparticle diffusion of species A&B through the catalyst pores to activesites.
Adsorption of both or one of thereactant species on catalyst activesites.
Surface reaction involving at leastone or both of the adsorbed species.

REACTOR MODEL• In kinetic models for trickle beds, the
reaction is often assumed to be first order
to both reactants
• For the ideal case of plug flow and
completely wetted catalyst, the conversionfor a first-order reaction is given by:

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/cre-ii-35 20/22
•Conversion may be given as a function of
the liquid hourly space velocity (LHSV), and
the apparent rate constant, kapp, includes
the effect of partial wetting as well as the
effect of internal concentration gradients.

Applications• Trickle-bed reactors are employed in
petroleum, petrochemical and chemicalindustries, in waste water treatment andbiochemical and electrochemicalprocessing.
For Example: – Residuum and vacuum residuum
desulfurization
– Catalytic dewaxing of lubestock cuts
– Hydrogenation of methyl styrene tocumene
– Oxidation of glucose
– Biochemical reactions and fermentations
