Classification Of Hydrogenation Reactor

Hydrogenation reactors have a wide range of applications in chemical pharmaceuticals, as basic equipment for product development, organic chemicals and pharmaceutical research, and can also be used for quantitative analysis of catalyst activity in industrial processes. Commonly used hydrogenation reactors are broadly divided into two categories:
A kind of liquid phase hydrogenation process for high boiling point liquid or solid (solid needs to be dissolved in solvent or heated to melt) raw materials, such as grease hydrogenation, hydrocracking of heavy oil products. Liquid phase hydrogenation is usually carried out under pressure, and the process can be intermittent or continuous. Batch liquid phase hydrogenation usually adopts pressure kettle or bubble reactor with stirring device. A trickle bed reactor or a tubular reactor with continuous flow of gas, liquid and solid in the same direction can be used for continuous liquid-phase hydrogenation.
Another type of reactor is used for continuous gas phase hydrogenation process, such as benzene gas phase hydrogenation to cyclohexane, carbon monoxide high pressure gas phase hydrogenation to methanol, etc. The type of reactor can be tubular or tower.
