Modeling reaction–diffusion processes within catalyst washcoats: I. Microscale processes based on three-dimensional reconstructions

Abstract: This paper develops a detailed analysis of reaction-diffusion processes within a porous rhodium-alumina catalyst washcoat. Focused-ion-beam-scanningelectron-microscope (FIB-SEM) techniques are developed and applied to reconstruct the actual catalyst-support microstructure. Three-dimensional transport processes within washcoat micro-pore structures are modeled using a dimensionless representation of reaction and diffusion rates based on the Damköhler number. Three-dimensional computational solutions for particu… Show more

“…The objective of this paper is to develop and apply geometrically simple models that can be used to assist the qualitative and quantitative interpretation of three-dimensional models that predict performance in geometrically complex pore microstructures that are reconstructed from an actual catalyst washcoat. A companion paper [1] The individual channel dimensions are typically on the order of a millimeter and the monolith is typically a few centimeters long. The thin catalyst washcoat, which covers the monolith walls, is typically a few tens of microns thick.…”

“…In this case, a homogeneous approximation can be used to describe the reactions in the volume of the granules. A wide range of models designed for homogeneous reactions: shrinking core model, models taking into account the dynamics of change the pore structure, percolation and fractal models [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16].…”
