Hydrogenation of Isobutene in Fixed Bed Microreactor - Long Term Experiments
Vajglová, Zuzana ; Stavárek, Petr ; Křišťál, Jiří ; Kolena, J. ; Jiřičný, Vladimír
Aliphatic hydrocarbons with 4 – 5 carbon chain are very valuable starting materials for the steam cracking process. In terms of volume, the C4 and C5 fractions are the most important by-product streams from the pyrolysis of naphtha and other liquid raw materials. Total hydrogenation of C4 and C5 fraction is a way how to produce a high-quality raw material for pyrolysis, which in comparison with a simple recycle olefin (non-hydrogenated) fractions provides higher yields of ethylene and propylene and does not shorten the operating period of the pyrolysis furnaces by excessive coking1,2. For better understanding of the C4 fraction hydrogenating process, reaction kinetic study was performed in laboratory conditions. The hydrogenation of 2-methylpropene (isobutene) on platinum catalyst was investigated experimentally as a model reaction. The effort was focused on development of the methodology of kinetic data collection under the kinetic regime. To have a representative kinetic data, results reproducibility and process stability within several days on-stream was investigated.

WP5 Status Report Months 31 to 50
Křišťál, Jiří ; Stavárek, Petr ; Jiřičný, Vladimír
Within WP5 in this reporting period focused on the development of a new intensified reactor concept for sulph(on)ation reaction. Based on the previous hydrodynamic experiments and mathematical models we designed a new reactor – microSulphonator. We also constructed and manufactured several prototypes that were later tested with model fluids. Experimental data were used for the validation of the models defined previously. Results of this period served as a basis for the final microSulphonators to be tested in the PGB pilot plant during the demonstration phase of the F3 project.

Analysis of the total oxidation of ethanol including reaction intermediates data obtained in the examined reactors on the temperature showed that differentmaterial applied in the construction of reactors and their arrangement give slightly different results of catalyst testing, the ones obtained from microreactor being more precise. More precise control of reaction temperature due to higher heat transfer capabilities and limited backmixing of reaction mixture in a packed bed microreactor is advantageous and leads to the more accurate results of oxidation catalysts testing. However, it is necessary to ensure in order the material used for the reactor construction did not affect the catalytic reaction. The results accomplished confirm that microreactors are not only suitable for performing of catalytic reactions in a laboratory scale but also promising way for creation of new, safer and cleaner production processes.

Hydrodynamic and Heat Transfer Model of a Gas-Liquid Microreactor
Křišťál, Jiří ; Stavárek, Petr ; Staněk, Vladimír ; Jiřičný, Vladimír ; Simoncelli, A. ; Vanhoutte, D. ; Tarchini, R. ; Talford, M. ; Hass-Santo, K. ; Benzinger, W.
In this contribution we present a hydrodynamic and heat transfer model of a microreactor for a gas-liquid reaction. In the course of formulation of the model, we considered the characteristic features of the studied system – the gas-liquid flow pattern and the change in physical properties induced by pressure and temperature variation along the microreactor. Based on the input information (gas and liquid flow rates, compositions, temperatures), the model calculates the two-phase pressure drop and outlet temperature as the principal result. These results serve as a basis for the design of an intensified pilot scale microreactor.
