Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Particle attrition in fluid catalytic units causes loss of catalyst, which could amount to a few tonnes per day! The dependence of attrition on the process conditions and catalyst properties is therefore of great industrial interest, but it is however not well established at present. An experimental investigation of attrition of FCC particles in a cold model bed will be carried out in order to identify the mechanisms of attrition, and hence to elucidate the influence of a number of important factors, such as distributor design, operating velocities and catalyst properties.
