[ 1 ] - A Study of Gas Flow in a Slurry Bubble Column Reactor for the DME Direct Synthesis: Mathematical Modeling from Homogeneity vs. Heterogeneity Point of View

In the present study, a heterogeneous and homogeneous gas flow dispersion model for simulation and optimization of a large-scale catalytic slurry reactor for the direct synthesis of dimethyl ether (DME) from synthesis gas (syngas) and CO2, using a churn-turbulent regime was developed. In the heterogeneous flow model, the gas phase was distributed into two bubble phases including small and large...
