Kinetic study of the dehydrogenation of ethanol

Kinetics of CO2 Hydrogenation to Hydrocarbons over Iron–Silica Catalysts

“…The additional evaluation of the mass transfer effect followed the methodd evelopedb yF ranckaerts and Froment( see Figure S2 in the Supporting Information). [33] For various experimental conditions, a series of plots of X vs. m cat /F A0 (X = conversion, m cat = mass of catalyst, F A0 = CO 2 molarf eed rate) have been constructed and the "mass transfer-free" rates of reactions have been determined.T he initial slope [for the infinitively high, therefore mass transfer free, flowrate, Eq. (1)]:…”

Model discrimination and parameter estimation in heterogeneous catalysis

“…Since this is a well-known example, we will illustrate the methodology by means of the ethanol dehydrogenation data of Franckaerts and Froment (1964). Some 300 experiments were performed in an integral tubular reactor.…”

Mathematical Tools and Approaches for Polymerization Reaction Engineering II— Statistical Modeling Tools and Approaches

“…As a matter of fact, I was captured and became an enthusiastic supporter of statistical methods and approaches in the 1980s, when I was a graduate student at COPPE/UFRJ and found out that statistical experimental design tools [2][3][4] could allow for significant reduction of experimental costs and maximization of the information content of experimental data obtained with very hard work at research labs. Since then, I have been flirting with statistical methods for more than 30 years so that I could not avoid the temptation to get involved in this very interesting project.…”
