A one-step reaction scheme is proposed for prepn. of 2-methyl-1-naphthol from 1-tetralone. The process includes two fixed-bed reactors in line or a single reactor with a double-layered or mixed catalytic bed. The main advantage of the proposed scheme is to ...
A reactor concept designed as a bubble column staged with fibrous catalytic layers is tested on pilot-scale for the redn. of nitrite to N by H. CO2 is used to neutralize the hydroxide ions produced during hydrogenation of nitrite. The effective reaction ra ...
Reduced activation ferritic/martensitic (RAFM) steels are the reference structural materials for future fusion reactors. They have proven to be a good alternative to austenitic steels for their higher swelling resistance, lower damage accumulation and impr ...
The diffusion behavior of iodine in yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) was investigated as a function of the temperature. Iodine implantation was performed in this cubic solid solution by irradiating material samples with 1 MeV iodine ions. The distribution ...
Leading long term considerations for choices in the European Long Term Technology programme are the high temperature mechanical- and compatibility properties of structural materials under neutron irradiation. The degrees of fabrication process freedom are ...
Disinfection of some microorganisms is characterized by a lag-phase (a minimum required ozone exposure until disinfection occurs). This phenomenon is easy to model in laboratory batch reactors but not in continuous flow mixed reactors. This paper introduce ...
The content of this report is property of HTceramix and subject to restrictive distribution The goal of the project "Oxygen membranes for the partial oxidation of natural gas" was the pre-industrial evaluation of the concept of an electroceramic reactor, c ...
A theor. anal. is presented for the prediction of the specific energy consumption and the required electrode surface for the electrochem. combustion of org. compds. on synthetic B-doped diamond thin film electrodes. The model is formulated for a perfect mi ...
A new reactor concept for catalyzed three-phase reactions based on the use of woven fibrous materials for bubble columns is suggested. In comparison to conventional multistage bubble columns, the trays are made from woven fibrous catalytic layers. The hydr ...
Accidental water ingress in pebble-bed type, high temperature reactor (HTR) cores can result in large positive reactivity changes and in consequent reductions in shutdown margins, since such systems generally tend to be undermoderated. The prediction of su ...
