Abstract in another language

Axial dispersion and wall effects in narrow fixed beds with aspect ratios < 10 were investigated, both by classical methods and by NMR imaging. The residence time distribution (RTD) in the center and at the wall was measured, system water/NaCl-solution as tracer, and subsequently compared with radial velocity profiles based on NMR imaging. The influence of the aspect ratio and Rep on dispersion and on the degree of non-uniformity of the velocity profile was studied. The NMR results are consistent with the RTD and also with literature data of numerical simulations. For low aspect ratios, dispersion/wall effects have a strong influence on the reactor behavior, above all, in cases where a low effluent concentration is essential, as proven by breakthrough experiments with the reaction of H2S with ZnO.
