485 Multiphase Reaction Engineering I

Wednesday, November 11, 2015: 8:30 AM - 11:00 AM
355F (Salt Palace Convention Center)

Description:
This session addresses new developments in multiphase reaction engineering, including hydrodynamics, kinetics, scaleup and modeling of multiphase reactors that involve at least two moving phases, such as gas-liquid, gas-solid and gas-liquid-solid reactors. This includes but is not restricted to bubble columns, trickle beds, air lift reactors, mechanically agitated gas-liquid and gas-liquid solid tanks, loop reactors, and fluidized beds, with chemical, biochemical and energy application.
