The dehydration of Isopropyl Alcohol over Silica-Alumina FCC catalyst (a pseudo-first order reaction) was done at atmospheric pressure, a carrier gas velocity below 40.0cm/sec, and in the temperature range between 200°C and 210°C in a slugging transport reactor. In this reaction study, close sized Silica-Alumina FCC catalyst of 200-250 mesh are used.
It was found that the results of the reaction fall into between those of piston flow and complete mixing.
The conversion calculated from Eq.(3) based on the “contact time model” for describing reaction results reached a conclusion that agreed well with the experimental reaction data.
Besides, a comparison of the reaction results in a slugging transport reactor and those in a transport reactor is presented.
