Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling of a novel membrane reactor to integrate dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene with hydrogenation of nitrobenzene to aniline
TL;DR: In this paper, a pseudo-homogeneous model of the two fixed beds predicts the performance of this novel configuration first proposed by Moustafa and Elnashaie [Simultaneous production of styrene and cyclohexane in an integrated membrane reactor, where both hydrogen and heat are transferred across the surface of membrane tubes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimal design of an autothermal membrane reactor coupling the dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene with the hydrogenation of nitrobenzene to aniline
Nabeel S. Abo-Ghander,Filip Logist,John R. Grace,Jan Van Impe,Said S.E.H. Elnashaie,C. Jim Lim +5 more
TL;DR: Abo-Ghander et al. as mentioned in this paper designed a co-current coupled flow, catalytic membrane reactor configuration to achieve a maximum styrene yield of 97% when production of styrene is emphasized and up to 80% of nitrobenzene conversion when NitrobenZene conversion is concentrated on.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heterogeneous modeling of an autothermal membrane reactor coupling dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene with hydrogenation of nitrobenzene to aniline: Fickian diffusion model
Nabeel S. Abo-Ghander,Filip Logist,John R. Grace,Jan Van Impe,Said S.E.H. Elnashaie,C. Jim Lim +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of the intraparticle resistances on the performance of the cocurrent configuration of the coupling reactor was investigated with Fickian diffusion inside the catalyst pellets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of diffusion models in the modeling of a catalytic membrane fixed bed reactor coupling dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene with hydrogenation of nitrobenzene
Nabeel S. Abo-Ghander,Filip Logist,John R. Grace,Jan Van Impe,Said S.E.H. Elnashaie,C. Jim Lim +5 more
TL;DR: In this work, the homogeneous reactor model for a cocurrent flow configuration is compared to two heterogeneous models based on the Fickian diffusion model and the dusty gas model for both isothermal and non-isothermal pellets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Feasibility of Coupling Dehydrogenation of Ethylbenzene with Hydrogenation of Nitrobenzene in an Autothermal Catalytic Membrane Reactor: Modeling Study
Nabeel S. Abo-Ghander,Filip Logist,John R. Grace,Jan Van Impe,Said S.E.H. Elnashaie,C. Jim Lim +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the feasibility and performance of the co-current integrated catalytic membrane reactor configuration was investigated by means of models based on both homogeneous and heterogeneous fixed bed concepts.
