CATALYTIC REACTOR FOR GAS PHASE REACTIONS

摘要

A catalytic reactor for gas phase reactions is disclosed. The reactor includes a housing (2), a porous catalyst support plate (14) within the housing (2), a bed of catalyst particles (16) within the housing (2) and a fibrous filter pad (18) extending across the housing (2) to prevent transport of catalyst particles (16) from the housing (2). The filter pad (18) is resistant to clogging and imposes a low pressure drop across the reactor.
