Abstract:
The invention relates to a reactor (1) in the form of a horizontal cylinder for carrying out autothermal gas phase dehydrogenbation of a hydrocarbon-containing gas flow (2) by means of an oxygen-containing gas flow (3), with a reaction mixture being obtained, on a heterogeneous catalyst in the form of a monolith (4), characterized in that the interior of the reactor (1) is divided by a detachable cylindrical or prismatic housing G, which is disposed in the longitudinal direction of the reactor (1), gastight in the circumferential direction and open at both end faces thereof, into an inner area A, having one or a plurality of catalytically active zones (5), in which are provided a packing of monoliths (4) stacked on, adjacent, and above one another, and, in front of each catalytically active zone (5), a mixing zone (6) having fixed installations, and an outer area B disposed coaxially to the inner area A.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for purifying a contaminant-laden current by bringing the current to be purified in contact with a heterogeneous photocatalyst and irradiating it with light, wherein it is brought into contact in the presence of at least one compound, which is dissolved in the current and contains at least one metal selected from the group consisting of iron, chromium, nickel, cobalt, manganese, and mixtures thereof, and to the use of a heterogeneous photocatalyst for purifying a contaminant-laden current, wherein at least one compound containing at least one metal selected from the group consisting of iron, chromium, nickel, cobalt, manganese, and mixtures thereof, is present in dissolved form in the current to be purified.
