DOIAbstract
In slurry bubble column reactors, generally small particles (<200 m) are applied. These particles often introduce a strenuous liquid-solid separation in processes involving liquid-phase products. This operation can be facilitated by performing filtration inside the reactor and thereby utilizing the turbulence induced by rising gas bubbles to keep the filters clean. In previous work it was shown under what conditions in a 3-phase filtration system a cake of solids forms. In the present work the effect of filter cake formation on slurry reactor performance is studied in the regime where the intrinsic chemical kinetics partially determine the conversion rate of the species involved. For this purpose the hydrogenation of -methylstyrene on Pd/Al...
