N2 - Acetic acid, which serves as a model compound for pyrolysis oil, was cracked with a HZSM-5 zeolite catalyst in a microchannel reactor. The microchannel reactor provided enhanced mass and heat transfer in comparison to macroreactors due to their high surface-to-volume ratio. The performance of the microreactor was evaluated by studying the effect of different operating conditions on the space-time yield, product yield and reactant conversion. Batch reactor experiments were also implemented to compare the performance to that of the microreactor. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the AIChE Spring National Meeting and 5th Global Congress on Process Safety (Tampa, FL 4/26-30/2009).
