Modulation of liquid holdup along a trickle bed reactor with periodic operation

Temporal variations of the liquid holdup in a mini-pilot scale trickle bed reactor cold-mockup, induced by an ON-OFF liquid flow modulation strategy of operation, are explored at different axial positions. The reactor is packed with porous beads of γ - Al2 O3 and the liquid holdup is approximately e...
