REACTOR FOR EXOTHERMIC AND ENDITHERMIC CATALYTIC REACTIONS A reactor suitable for exothermic and endothermic catalytic reactions comprising: (a) a closed reactor shell; (b) within the reactor shell two coaxial essentially vertical cylinders, whose walls have a plurality of openings of sufficiently small dimensions so as to retain catalyst in the space between the cylinders, whilst allowing passage of process fluid; (c) heat transfer means consisting of one or more tubes extending in the catalyst space, through which heat transfer fluid can be passed; (d) one or more inlet ports for reactants and one or more outlet ports for reactor effluent, so positioned as to make the reactants pass substantially in a radial direction through the catalyst space. The reactor shell is further provided with catalyst inlet and outlet means in communication with the upper and lower ends of the catalyst space respectively, thus enabling the catalyst to move continuously through the catalyst space during operation of the reactor. |
