Application of Electrodynamic Catalytic Reactors for Intensification of Heat and Mass Exchange Processes of Heterophase Catalysis

Abstract

This article discusses a model of an electrodynamic reactor. It is fundamentally different in the way of supplying energy to the reaction zone from the reactors currently in operation in industry. This significantly reduces energy consumption, simplifies process control and increases the efficiency of the reactor. The environmental advantage of the developed reactor is also of great importance. There are no emissions of gases into the atmosphere, which are formed in large quantities during fuel combustion in superheating furnaces, the consumption of water is reduced, which is used only in a closed cycle to cool the microwave generator and circulator as a matching load during its operation. The overall efficiency of the electrodynamic reactor is 1.2 times higher than that of existing industrial ones. A method for calculating thermodynamic processes in electrodynamic reactors is proposed. It allows you to determine the technological parameters of the process to ensure a given temperature distribution and provides the maximum yield of the target reaction products with the minimum possible energy consumption of electromagnetic radiation.
