Packed Bed Kinetics of Sucrose Inversion

Packed bed reactors can be used to study the kinetics of sucrose inversion. In this liquid-phase reaction, sucrose is converted into glucose (dextrose) and fructose while a solid catalyst helps drive the process.

Batch and continuous flow reactors are both used in catalytic chemistry. Packed beds...

Chemical reactions are carried out in various types of reactors using catalysts in order to increase reaction rate and improve conversion. Reaction rate is temperature dependent thus it is strongly influenced by heat transfer. Additionally, reaction rate is effected by mass transfer since a reaction cannot take place faster than the rate at whic...
