“…The applicability of a reverse flow reactor (RFR) for the purification of waste air has been demonstrated by several authors by using both modeling and experimental studies (Matros et al, 1988(Matros et al, , 1993bEigenberger and Nieken, 1988;Chumachenko and Matros, 1990;Sapundzhiev et al, 1991;Nieken et al, 1994a,b;Purwono et al, 1994;Westerterp, 1994, 1996). These works are devoted mainly to analyzing and discussing the influence of the various reaction and reactor parameters, such as the rate constant, activation energy, cycle period, stability and control, gas velocity and properties, adiabatic behavior, methods of cooling or heating part of the bed, ratio of inert solids to catalyst, and other operational considerations.…”
