Abstract:
A radial reactor for utilization for catalytic reactions of gaseous or liquid feed streams including a vertical, annular catalyst bed, wherein the material contained within the catalyst bed includes an active catalyst material, contained within an outer ring-shaped, vertical layer of the catalyst bed, and an inert material, contained within an inner ring-shaped, vertical layer of the catalyst bed.
Radial Reactor Loading Of A Dehydrogenation Catalyst
A radial reactor for utilization for catalytic reactions of gaseous or liquid feed streams including an annular catalyst bed, wherein the material contained within the catalyst bed includes an active catalyst material, contained within an outer ring-shaped layer of the catalyst bed, and a generally inert material, contained within an inner ring-shaped layer of the catalyst bed, wherein the generally inert material includes a potassium-containing compound, such as potassium oxide, hydroxide, carbonate or bicarbonate.

Abstract:
Methods are disclosed for the dehydrogenation of feed streams, such as in the manufacture of styrene from ethylbenzene, using a catalyst bed having catalyst with differing activities. In particular, the use of upstream and downstream catalyst beds of relatively low and high activities, respectively, can reduce the production of unwanted byproducts, especially in styrene production processes employing an oxidative reheat step (oxidation zone) prior to ethylbenzene dehydrogenation. The methods allow the maximum temperature in the oxidation zone to be decreased, thereby reducing the formation of unwanted oxygenated byproducts (e.g., phenol).
