The modeling involves material balances both for the catalyst particle as well as for different fluid phases. Catalyst deactivation is also considered in a transient reactor model to investigate the effects of various parameters including reactor temperature on catalyst deactivation. The simulation results indicated that packed-bubble columns were slightly superior in performance than trickle beds. It was also found that reaction temperature was the most effective parameter in catalyst deactivation.}, journal = {International Journal of Chemical and Molecular Engineering}, volume = {5}, number = {1}, year = {2011}, pages = {71 - 76}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/203}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/49}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 49, 2011}, }
