Failure of commercial extruded catalysts in simple compression and bulk thermal cycling

Abstract: The mechanical performance of three commercial extruded catalyst pellets was characterized by single particle compression testing in five orientations and bulk crush testing during thermal cycles from 20°C to 900°C in a reformer tube. Failure loads were analyzed with Weibull statistics, and fragment shapes were cataloged. Maximum principal stresses from finite element simulations were consistent with the shapes of fragments from single pellet tests. In smaller scale bulk tests, excluding pellets in contact wit… Show more

“…In this novel approach (detailed in the Supporting Information), the fraction of crushed particles is estimated from the number of cold events; this is geometrically related to catalyst bed properties ( D p , ε and ρ cat ). The crushing mechanism has been well covered by Baharudin and Watson and Young et al…”
