Abstract

Abstract:

For the heterogeneous catalysis process where the intrinsic reaction rate is fast, the macroscopic reaction rate is generally limited by the mass transfer rate. Based on the excellent mass transfer performance of HiGee technology and the breakthrough of key mechanical parts of HiGee equipment under high temperature and high pressure conditions, HiGee multiphase catalytic reactor (HMCR) gradually demonstrated great potential for the process intensification of heterogeneously catalytic reaction. This article mainly reviews recent researches on HMCRs in gas-liquid, gas-solid, and gas-liquid-solid systems, and the development prospects of HMCRs are also suggested.

Key words: HiGee technology, heterogeneous catalysis, reactor, process intensification
