Dissolved Gas reactor

为了更有效地利用能源气体（氢气、氧气、二氧化碳）进行化学制造，需要开发对地球有益的催化工艺。该博士项目的目标是使用高压溶解气体反应器概念，通过将气液传质和反应步骤分离为两个独立的单元操作来促进能源气体的使用：（i）死端气体溶解（无排放或再循环），在高压下产生气体溶液，和（ii）溶解气体反应器，其中溶液以提供流体动力学精确控制的方式连续流过一个或多个催化剂颗粒。这使得更大的能力来控制和优化气体输送到催化剂的表面。候选人将有机会使用现有的处理设备，并将有机会发明，建造和演示下一代气液设备，可以更容易地在气体和能源技术中实施（例如药物化学反应，该项目建立在Muller集团最近的工作基础上，并由催化剂制造商约翰逊Matthey（JM）支持的工业案例奖资助。

More efficient utilisation of energy gases (hydrogen, oxygen, CO2) into chemical manufacturing will require development of catalytic processes beneficial to the planet. This PhD project objective is to use a high pressure dissolved gas reactor concept to facilitate the use of energy gasses by separation of the Gas-Liquid mass transfer and the reaction step into two separate unit operations: (i) dead end gas dissolution (no vent or recycle), generating a solution of gas at high pressure and (ii) a dissolved gas reactor in which the solution continuously flows over one or more catalyst pellets in a manner that affords precise control of the hydrodynamics. This gives greater ability to control and optimise gas transport to the surface of the catalyst.The candidate will have access to existing processing equipment and will have the opportunity to invent, build and demonstrate the next generation of gas-liquid equipment that can be more easily implemented in gas and energy technology (e.g. pharmaceutical chemical reactions, CO2 Conversion to methane).The project builds on recent work in the Muller group and is funded as an industrial Case award supported by catalyst manufacturer Johnson Matthey (JM).
