Simulation of activity loss of fixed bed catalytic reactor of MTO conversion using percolation theory
چکیده انگلیسی

In this investigation, a reactor model for prediction of the deactivation behavior of MTO's porous catalyst in a fixed bed reactor is developed. Effect of coking on molecular transport in the porous structure of SAPO-34 has been simulated using the percolation theory. Thermal effects of the reaction were considered in the model and the temperature profile of the gas stream in the reactor was predicted. The predicted loss in catalyst activity with time-on-stream was in very good agreement with the experimental data. The resulting coke deposition and gas temperature profiles along the length of reactor suggested a reaction front moving toward the outlet of the fixed bed reactor at the operating experimental conditions of 1 h−1 and 723 K for methanol space velocity and inlet temperature, respectively. Effects of space time, coordination of Bethe network, and effective diffusivity of component in reaction mixture on the reactor performance are presented.


► Percolation theory was applied in the modeling of loss in catalyst activity in MTO.
► Model predicts formation of reaction front in the catalyst bed.
► Good fit of the complicated loss of activity of SAPO-34 versus time was obtained.
► Diffusion coefficient strongly influences the width of reaction front and activity.
