Abstract

A recirculating solids riser reactors offer several advantages over fixed bed and fluidized bed reactors for vapor phase oxidation reactions. In such a reactor, the organic is oxidized in a riser reactor zone using oxidized catalyst, and the reduced catalyst is reoxidized to its optimum state in a separate fluidized bed regenerator zone. The recirculating catalyst remains in a transient cyclic state. The viability of the concept and its performance advantages over the alternatives will be described for oxidation of butane to maleic anhydride. Potential of the reactor in developing an improved understanding of the reaction pathway will also be discussed.

Metal nitrides, the Mars-van Krevelen mechanism and heterogeneously catalysed ammonia synthesis
2023, Catalysis Today
Whilst the Mars-van Krevelen mechanism is well established for metal oxide catalysed oxidation reactions, it has been much less studied in the case of nitrogen based reactions catalysed by metal nitrides. In this overview, some of the recent literature in relation to the possible operation of the Mars- van Krevelen mechanism for ammonia synthesis catalysed by metal nitrides is presented, along with some of the literature relating to the synthesis of ammonia via chemical looping approaches.
Modeling the selective oxidation of n-butane to maleic anhydride: From active site to industrial reactor
2022, Catalysis Today
Citation Excerpt :
Adsorbed oxygen species are considered as strong oxidizing agents for the total oxidation of n-butane [27,108]. Such considerations and the possibility of separately optimizing the operating conditions for reduction or reoxidation of the catalyst have led to the development of DuPont's circulating fluidized bed concept [27,172]. From the existence of this process, Sahakini et al. [169] concluded that the involvement of chemisorbed oxygen in the n-butane oxidation process can be excluded.
In this contribution to the Special Issue honoring 100 very successful years of Casale S.A., we review and critically discuss the current status of modeling the most demanding selective partial oxidation reaction industrially applied: the partial oxidation of n-butane to maleic anhydride. We examine theoretical model descriptions of this partial oxidation reaction covering all relevant length scales: from modeling the active site and elementary steps, microkinetic and macrokinetic models, to reactor models on all length scales from laboratory reactors up to industrial-size production reactors. We also include in our manuscript the latest CFD developments aiming at a better understanding of heat and mass transfer in industrial catalyst beds as well as effects of the local bed structure. The contribution also covers relevant experimental findings with respect to the catalytically active species or sites on the catalyst surface, the reaction mechanism as well as microkinetic considerations. 60 years of research have greatly improved our understanding of the selective partial oxidation reaction. However, a critical review of the different aspects of the n-butane oxidation and its industrially used catalyst reveals on all length scales that there still remain unanswered questions, and that there are still some inconsistencies in our fundamental understanding. This situation arises from the fact that the catalyst for n-butane partial oxidation is a highly complex and dynamic system and its performance depends on all details of its generation and its operational history.
Bulk phase charge transfer in focus – And in sequential along with surface steps
2021, Catalysis Today
Citation Excerpt :
The MvK mechanism has been the base for many practical selective and non-selective catalytic oxidation processes [22,23], and more recently, chemical looping [24–26] and rich oxygen combustion [27,28] have been observed in industrial practices. For instance, Dupont previously made an attempt in utilizing circulating fluidized-bed reactors for mass production of maleic anhydride with a vanadium phosphorus oxide catalyst, where the selective oxidation of n-butane and the re-oxidation of the catalyst occur in two separate reactors [29–31]. Even though this approach was eventually not adopted in the commercial practice, the concept behind has been intriguing.
In recent decades, catalysis has witnessed increasing interests in many catalytic reactions with bulk phase and interface charge transfer steps as a distinguished feature. Here, the charge can be cations, anions, electrons or holes. Research into both bulk phase and interface charge transfer has changed our understanding and in-focus design of catalysts and reactors, due to the clear difference in kinetics from those classical catalytic reactions, where only surface steps are concerned. This perspective selects several types of representative reactions and discusses the challenges and opportunities to innovations in catalytic technologies from the viewpoint of recognizing and accelerating the key step of the charge transfer at interface or in the catalyst bulk phase, as well as incorporating the surface steps into the overall kinetics.
On the importance of by-products in the kinetics of n-butane oxidation to maleic anhydride
2020, Chemical Engineering Journal
The kinetics of n-butane oxidation to maleic anhydride (MA) is investigated under industry-related conditions using an almost isothermal millistructured fixed-bed reactor. In addition to the influence of reaction conditions and feed composition, in particular, the influence of the reaction products is investigated. Besides water and MA, the main focus is on the by-products acetic and acrylic acid, which are usually neglected in the literature. In this context, it can be demonstrated that acetic and acrylic acid play an important role in the formation of CO and CO₂, and therefore should be considered in the kinetics. On the other hand, direct oxidation of n-butane to CO and CO₂ seems to be rather unlikely. The result is a reaction network with at least nine reactions. All of these reactions are inhibited by water and show an apparent reaction order smaller than one concerning their carbon source. Furthermore, a complex pattern of inhibitions is observed, which, in most cases, can be well explained by a redox mechanism. In summary, a large amount of data is collected that can be used for the development of improved kinetics, including the often neglected by-products acetic and acrylic acid.
Multi-objective optimization of maleic anhydride circulating fluidized bed (CFB) reactors
2019, Chemical Engineering Research and Design
Citation Excerpt :
The fluidized bed reactor, though, leads to high Bu conversions due to high back mixing, which results in a reduction of the MA selectivity and thus, the MA productivity (Contractor, 1999). Researchers at DuPont (Contractor, 1999; Contractor et al., 1994, 1987; Contractor and Sleight, 1988) have proposed the use of circulating fluidized bed (CFB) reactors for MA production. It is reported (Contractor, 1999) that the MA CFB reactor has all the advantages of a fluidized bed reactor over the fixed bed reactor.
A detailed multi-objective optimization (MOO) study of a tuned model of a maleic anhydride (MA) circulating fluidized bed (CFB) commercial plant (CP) reactor is carried out using appropriate flammability and hydrodynamic constraints. The optimal operating conditions are found for the maximum MA productivity with the minimum feed. A series of optimization problems are solved, both with a single objective function (SOO: single objective optimization) and with multiple objective functions (MOO: multi objective optimization). The optimization of the MA CFB CP reactor results in approximately a 40% increase in the MA productivity as compared to the reported values of the demonstration runs (non-optimal) of this reactor. The effect of flammability and hydrodynamic constraints are analyzed. The optimal MA productivities of the MA CFB and fixed bed reactors show higher MA productivity (at the same feed rate) for the former.
Structural evolution and catalytic performance of DuPont V-P-O/SiO<inf>2</inf> materials designed for fluidized bed applications
2010, Applied Catalysis A: General
An industrial V-P-O catalyst (DuPont), comprising vanadyl pyrophosphate crystallites encapsulated by a silica shell, has been investigated. Reaction evaluation for butane oxidation was conducted over (i) the catalyst precursor, (ii) the calcined precursor and (iii) equilibrated material (2 years on-line) in a fixed-bed reactor. Characterization was conducted on these three samples by XRD, SEM, TEM and XPS. The core–shell particles have also been examined with a novel X-ray ultramicroscopy (XuM) technique which reveals the internal structure without having to section the material. The microstructural and surface compositional changes that have occurred over the course of its industrial lifespan in a fluidized bed reactor are correlated with the catalytic activity measurements.
