Catalytic Dehydration of Glycerol to Acrolein in a Two-Zone Fluidized Bed Reactor
The gas-phase catalytic dehydration of glycerol to acrolein was carried out in a Two-Zone Fluidized-Bed Reactor (TZFBR) using a 20 wt.% phosphotungstic acid (H3PW12O40) catalyst supported on CARIACT-Q10 commercial silica.In the first step, a hydrodynamic study of the reactor was performed.A quality of fluidization of more than 80% was obtained.In t
