Influence of Reaction Conditions on the Settling Behavior of Liquid‐Liquid Dispersions

Abstract

The settling behavior of liquid‐liquid dispersions at ambient temperature and pressure is well investigated. However, little is known about the settling behavior of those systems at high pressure and high temperature. In this work, a novel stainless steel settling cell is presented, enabling investigations on liquid‐liquid settling behavior at high pressures up to 130 bar. The settling behavior of a promising CO2 hydrogenation reaction system is investigated by sequentially determining influences of dissolved CO2, side components, and temperature.
