Abstract
This paper studies the effect of catalytic
combustion of isopropyl alcohol according to the principles of
aerosol nanocatalysis technology on a vibrating fluidized bed
reactor. using a metal oxide catalyst in the form of Fe2O3
Catalytic reactions under this technology eliminate the need for
catalytic supports, while implementing in situ a continuous
mechanical and chemical activation (MCA) of the catalyst
surface by the mobile inert material. The effect of catalytic mass
concentration in the reactor was analyzed to ascertain the best
mass content of catalyst needed to achieve complete high %
volume content of CO2 in the combustion gases product. This
study revealed that under this technology, complete combustion
can be achieved at a catalytic mass content of 0.0002 grams and
0.0004 grams, as results of the experiment showed that there
needs to be a full saturation of the inert material with the
catalytic component, for the combustion reaction to be favorable
towards CO2 generation. This experiment was conducted by
varying the amount of catalytic content being introduced into the
reactor, by altering the mass of the catalyst from 0.0001 grams –
0.0005 grams, while using a temperature of 400 oC and MCA
frequency of 3 Hz, the MCA frequency of 3Hz provides the
reactant the opportunity to fully interact with the pores of the
catalytic surface under mild reactor bed vibrations while under
the impact of atmospheric pressure.
