Ethanol oxidation in a trickle-bed reactor using a hydrophobic catalyst. Effect of dilution with hydrophilic particles

Ethanol oxidation at moderate temperature and atmospheric pressure is carried out in a trickle-bed reactor using a hydrophobic catalyst and pure oxygen as the oxidizing agent. The influence of diluting the hydrophobic catalyst with different proportions of the hydrophilic inert support is particular...
