Simulation of -Xylene Oxidation into Phthalic Anhydride: Rigorous Multitubular Catalytic Reactor Modelling and Exportation into the Process Flowsheet

Abstract The aim of this case study is to develop a process model including both heat integration and separation processes by means of ASPEN PLUS simulation software. Previous studies have attempted to develop kinetic models or to retrieve optimal policies for operating the process multitubular catalytic fixed-bed reactor. This time a rigorous model is developed in ASPEN CUSTOM MODELER and expo...

Microstructured reactors for catalytic reactions

This review addresses the catalytic reactions performed in microstructured reactors, which are more and more recognized in recent years as a novel approach for chemistry and chemical process industry. They are particularly suited for highly exothermic and fast reactions allowing temperature control and isothermal operation. A brief evaluation of the advantages for gas-phase, liquid-phase, and g...

Investigation of spatially patterned catalytic reactors

The theme of this work is to enhance the performance of a primary reaction system by introducing dual-functionality into a packed-bed reactor via a spatial pattern. This paper focuses on a generic system in which the primary reaction is equilibrium-limited and an auxiliary reaction is incorporated to act as a drain-o! mechanism alleviating the equilibrium constraint. It is found that patterns i...
