N2 - The reaction of acetic acid with hydrogen in the presence of sulfided NiMo catalyst using a microreactor system was studied. Studies of this reaction were conventionally carried out in continuous macroreactors, which had mass and heat transfer limitations that lead to unfavorable operating conditions such as uneconomically long residence time, and extremely high H2 partial pressure. Due to high surface-to-volume ratio, microreactors possess enhanced heat and mass transfer. The performance of the microreactor was evaluated by studying the effect of different operating conditions on the space-time yield, selectivity, hydrogen consumption, and conversion of the acetic acid. 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).
