The breakage during impact aka collision is explained using basic laws of nature allowing readers to determine the handling severity of catalyst manufacturing equipment and the severity of entire plants. This information can then be used to improve on the architecture of existing plants and how to design grass-roots plants. The book begins with a summary of particle forming techniques in the particle technology industry. It covers extrusion technology in more detail since extrusion is one of the workhorses for particle manufacture. A section is also dedicated on how to describe transport and chemical reaction in such particulates for of course their final use. It presents the fundamentals of the study of breakage by relating basic laws in different fields (mechanics and physics) and this leads to two novel dimensionless groups that govern breaka\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Author ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eForeword xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1 Catalyst Preparation Techniques and Equipment 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.1 Introduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.2 Forming of Catalysts 4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.3 Impregnation and Drying 12\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.4 Rotary Calcination 13\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.5 From the Laboratory to a Commercial Plant 29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNomenclature 29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2 Extrusion Technology 35\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.1 Background 35\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.2 Rheology 36\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.3 Extrusion 47\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNomenclature 57\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 59\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 The Aspect Ratio of an Extruded Catalyst: An In-depth Study 61\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.1 General 61\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.2 Introduction to Catalyst Strength and Catalyst Breakage 63\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.3 Mechanical Strength of Catalysts 67\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.4 Experimental Measurement of Mechanical Strength 76\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.5 Breakage by Collision 88\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.6 Breakage by Stress in a Fixed Bed 129\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.7 Breakage in Contiguous Equipment 145\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.8 Statistical Methods Applied to Manufacturing Materials 158\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNomenclature 159 \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGreek Symbols 161\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSubscripts 162\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 162\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e4 Steady-state Diffusion and First-order Reaction in Catalyst Networks 165\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.1 Introduction 165 \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.2 Classic Continuum Approach 169 \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.3 The Network Approach 171\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNomenclature 270\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGreek Symbols 270\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 271\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 4.1 Diffusion in a simple network 272\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 4.2 Property of the semi-inverse 272\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 4.3 Diffusion and reaction in a simple network 273\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 4.4 Matrix properties for diffusion and reaction in a simple network 274\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 4.5 Perturbation in a simple network 274\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 4.6 A random variable 275\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 4.7 Diffusion along a string of nodes 275\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 4.8 Diffusion in a rectangular strip with an equal number of nodes 276\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 4.9 Diffusion in a rectangular strip with an unequal number of nodes 277\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 4.10 Diffusion and first-order reaction in a very deep network of 500 layers deep and five nodes per layer 279\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 4.11 Diffusion and first-order reaction 280\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 281\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley \u0026 Sons Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49528860541271,"sku":"9781119634942","price":108.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781119634942.jpg?v=1731873311","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/catalyst-engineering-technology-9781119634942","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
