Abstract

Combined reactors in which the mixed reactor is followed by a tubular reactor can be optimal for a large number of simple adiabatic exothermal reactions. In the present paper, optimality criteria defined earlier for simple reactions involving a single reactant species have been extended to reactions involving two reactant species and for a system of consecutive reactions. The oxidation of benzone has been studied in an adiabatic semifluidized mixed tubular (MT) reactor. A definite improvement is possible when the oxidation is carried out in this reactor, as observed by a comparison of the experimental results obtained in tubular, mixed, and MT reactors under adiabatic conditions.
