The oxidation reactions were investigated in a laboratory-scale fixed-bed reactor to determine reaction kinetics. The effects of pore diffusional resistance were investigated and explained. A two-dimensional pseudo-homogeneous reactor model was used for the simulation of a production-scale fixed-bed reactor. A flow scheme of the reactor section including a recycle was proposed UR - https://www.ksp.kit.edu/9783866441996 UR - https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/55713 ER -
