Control of a Fluidized Bed Polyethylene Reactor

control of a fluidized bed polyethylene reactor

in present paper, dynamic behavior and control of a fluidized bed reactor for polyethylene production has been considered. a double active sites model for ziegler-natta catalysts is used for simulation of polymerization reaction. hydrodynamic behavior of the bed is modeled using a two phase model including bubble and emulsion phases in which bubble phase has plug flow pattern with differentiall...

Unsteady-State Modeling of the Fluidized Bed Polyethylene Reactor

Decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in a catalytic fluidized-bed reactor

The decomposition of H2O2 by a novel supported g-FeOOH catalyst was performed in a continuous fluidized-bed reactor. This catalyst has been successfully used in the treatment of organic contaminants with H2O2 in our previous work. In this study, we attempted to determine the effects of pH, H2O2 concentration, and catalyst concentration on the decomposition of H2O2. An approach, we regarded this...

Fluidization Characteristics of a Prototype Fluidized Bed Reactor

The fluidization characteristics of a prototype-fluidized bed laboratory reactor were understudied in order to investigate the suitable conditions at which the dehydrogenation reaction of butane could be carried out. To achieve this, a reactor with an effective volume of 1100ml was fabricated and coupled with temperature and pressure accessories. Zeolites were obtained from the market and clay ...

Pyrolysis of Softwood Carbohydrates in a Fluidized Bed Reactor

In the present work pyrolysis of pure pine wood and softwood carbohydrates, namely cellulose and galactoglucomannan (the major hemicellulose in coniferous wood), was conducted in a batch mode operated fluidized bed reactor. Temperature ramping (5 degrees C/min) was applied to the heating until a reactor temperature of 460 degrees C was reached. Thereafter the temperature was kept until the rele...

Biomass steam-reforming in a low throughput fluidized bed reactor

This work presents the results from biomass gasification tests in a low throughput fluidized bed membrane reactor (FBMR) and compares them with two-phase model predictions. The operating temperature was decreased to 550C, while an equimolar steam/cellulose ratio was used. The profiles of kinetics limitation and biomass conversion were analysed when a palladium (Pd) membrane for hydrogen separat...
