Method for forming a packing for resin catalytic packed beds, and so formed packing

摘要

A method for forming packing for resin catalytic packed beds, comprising providing elastic elements capable of compressing under the pressure applied by resin particles which expand upon contact with a specific work substance, and have characteristics of elasticity and resiliency which are adapted for the expansion factor of the resin, preparing a packing constituted by a mixture of resin particles and elastic elements, mixed in proportions which are selected as a function of the degree of expansion, and loading the packing so as to constitute an elastic catalytic packed bed which is adapted to remain dimensionally stable following the expansion of the resin particles. The packing thus formed comprises a mixture of particles of resin, which can expand upon contact with a specific work substance and elastic elements.
