Coupling of highly exothermic and endothermic reactions in a metallic monolith catalyst reactor: A preliminary experimental study

A new reactor concept for combining oxidative coupling and steam re-forming of methane: modeling and analysis

“…During the years, promising concepts for the coupling of exothermic and endothermic reactions in a multifunctional reactor have been published [43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50]. Kolios et al [44] published an interesting review on several reactor concept for combining endothermic and exothermic reactions that are more sensible for this filed.…”

Utilization of cyclohexanol dehydrogenation in a novel thermally coupled reactor for Fischer–Tropsch synthesis in gas to liquid technology

“…Furthermore, the heat loss in this condition will be less than conventional reactors, and at last the capital and operational costs will reduce. Several studies have been reported in the literature in recent years (Annaland and Nijssen, 2002;Annaland et al, 2002a,b;Kirill et al, 2007;Kolios et al, 2000;Yin et al, 2009). Khademi et al (2009) investigated an optimization of methanol synthesis and cyclohexane dehydrogenation in a thermally coupled reactor, and the result was an improvement in methanol yield.…”

Impact of reducing the channel diameter on heterogeneous gas reactions in an isothermal monolith

“…Numerical results are given in Table 4. Internal diffusion and external mass transfer characteristic times are calculated thanks to expressions (1) and (6). The characteristic time of reaction is assumed to be equal to the ratio between the inlet ethanol concentration and the reaction rate of ethanol steam reforming (Equation (21)).…”

“…A summary is given in Table 1. For example, Yin et al [6] have used a metallic monolith in order to study the coupling between a highly exothermic reaction and an endothermic reaction. This system allows using the energy produced by the first reaction to make up for the second reaction (autothermal reactor principle).…”
