Catalytic partial oxidation of methane to synthesis gas in a pilot-plant-scale spouted-bed reactor

Flow regime transition and hydrodynamics of spouted beds with binary mixtures

“…Spouted beds also possess unique structural and flow characteristics of potential applications in chemical processes [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. The present research group [10] has shown that spouted beds can be operated under much broader conditions than circulating fluidized beds (CFBs) when employed as reactors for catalytic partial oxidation of methane (CPOM) processes.…”

Pressure drop and pressure fluctuations in spouted beds with binary mixtures of particles

“…Spouted beds also possess some unique structural and flow characteristics of great potential applications as chemical reactors [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10].…”

Scale-up relationships of spouted beds by solid stress analyses

“…In addition to their ability to handle coarse particles, spouted beds also possess certain structural and flow characteristics that are very desirable for some chemical reaction systems. As a result, increasing attention had been paid to the application of spouted beds in chemical processes, including combustion [4][5][6], coal gasification [7,8], catalytic partial oxidation [9,10], catalytic oxidative coupling [11]; catalytic polymerization [12], and pyrolysis [13][14][15][16]. Although numerous promising results in bench-and pilot-scale spouted bed reactors operated under ambient conditions had been reported, the information on large scale spouted beds, especially those operated at high temperature and/or high pressure, was inadequate [17,18].…”
