Conventional Three-Phase Fixed-Bed Technologies analyzes conventional fixed-bed reactors such as trickle-bed, bubble (packed) column, and multitubular reactors with regard to process efficiency, design and safety. This book examines the shortcomings of these technologies with regard to the possibili...
