| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Based on the principle of the yield improvement by the periodic operation for trickle bed reactors generally employed for gas-liquid-solid catalytic reactions, Taylor flow (Slug flow), alternate two-phase flow generated in a tube, was applied for hydrogenation of alpha-methylstyrene (AMS) on the structured catalyst. It was palladium supported on alumina inner wall of an aluminum tube. The rate limiting step of this reaction is the mass transfer of hydrogen from gas phase to the catalyst surface through AMS film. When Taylor flow was generated in the tube reactor, the thickness of the liquid film on the catalyst wall became thinner periodically. The mass transfer of hydrogen was promoted, and as a result the apparent reaction rate was improved drastically. In addition, it was found out that the more the lateral area of gas slugs became, the higher the conversion of AMS could be obtained.
