A Sequential Modeling Approach is Proposed to Simulate Catalytic Reactions in Packed-Bed Reactors. the Hydrogenation of Alpha-Methylstyrene and Wet Oxidation of Phenol Are Selected as Studied Cases. the Modeling Scheme Combines a Reactor Scale Axial Dispersion Model with a Pellet Scale Model. Without Involving Any Fitting Parameters, Such an Approach Accounts for the Non-Linear Reaction Kinetics Expression and Different Types of Pellet-Liquid Wetting Contact. to Validate the Developed Modeling Scheme and the Parallel Approach Reported in the Literature, the Experimental Observations for Hydrogenation of Alpha-Methylstyrene to Cumene Have Been Employed. the Predicted Results by Both Approaches Agree Reasonably with the …
