Реферат: Among other things, the process intensification (PI) pursues the goals of enhancing the process capacity, or downsizing the reactor. The present work is focused on the intensification of catalytic ethanol-to-ethylene dehydration process in multi-tubular reactor by applying the ring-shaped particles of the optimal geometric sizes instead of conventional granules. A new simulating approach allowed us to select the optimal sizes of rings under wide variation of their height h, inner diameter d and outer diameter D. Reducing the equivalent size of pellets (ratio of volume Vp to surface Fp) from 71 to 32 ×10-5 m leads to an increase in the effectiveness factor η from 0.46 to 0.76, thus enhancing catalyst activity due to less intraparticle diffusion. The impact of various factors on the total enhancement of ethylene productivity over ring-shaped catalysts was examined and compared to that over cylinders (Vp/Fp = 71×10-5 m). Increase in effectiveness factor plays the major role, while heat and mass transfer parameters contribute less than 8%. Our study revealed that at a fixed ethanol conversion, PI due to the optimal geometric sizes may be expressed either as 2.1-fold increase in the reactor capacity, or as respective reduction in the tubes quantity. Both options may result in a significant improvement of the process performance.
