Reduction in greenhouse gases emission in a loop reactor adsorber: Simulations and experiments

Experimental demonstration and modeling of an adsorption-enhanced reverse flow reactor for the catalytic combustion of coal mine ventilation air methane

“…Depending on the application, the compounds to be adsorbed are either reactants, products, catalyst inhibitors or the catalyst itself. Typically, these reactors can be used to prevent a reactant or product from leaving the reactor [15]. Moreover, these reactors have been found to be advantageous for the main reaction, increasing average reaction rates [16][17][18], shifting reaction equilibria [19], immobilizing homogeneous catalysts [20,21], or removing catalyst inhibitors [22].…”

“…Another example, in the field of volatile organic compounds abatement, is the use of forced unsteady state reactors (reverse flow reactors, simulated moving bed reactors or reactor networks) to concentrate the organic compound prior to the oxidation [16,18,[25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. The capture of the CO 2 generated by the reaction is also possible [15].…”
