Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A catalyst for catalytic reactors of which the outer shape is a helix with n blades, where n is greater than or equal to 1, wherein the stack void fraction percentage is between 75% and 85% and the surface area/volume ratio is greater than 1000 square meters/square meters.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A catalyst for catalytic reactors, the outer shape of which is a helicoid having n blades with n≥1, wherein the void fraction percentage of the packing is between 75% and 85%, and wherein the surface area/volume ratio is greater than 1000 m 2 /m 3 , with said catalyst comprising a support and of an active phase deposited on the support. 2. The catalyst of claim 1 , wherein the catalyst has a length between 5 mm and 40 mm and an equivalent cylinder diameter between 5 mm and 10 mm. 3. The catalyst of claim 1 , wherein the surface area/volume ratio is greater than 2000 m 2 /m 3 . 4. The catalyst of claim 1 , wherein the catalyst of helicoidal shape comprises between 1.5 and 10 turns. 5. The catalyst of claim 1 , wherein the support is of inorganic oxide. 6. The catalyst of claim 1 , wherein the inorganic oxides are selected from the group consisting of Al 2 O 3 , MgO, CaO, ZrO 2 , TiO 2 , CeO 2 and Ce 2 O 3 . 7. The catalyst of claim 1 , wherein the active phase consists of metal particles selected from the group consisting of Ni, Rh, Pt, Pd, Co, Mo, Cu, Fe, and a mixture thereof. 8. A catalytic reactor comprising a packing of catalysts as claimed in claim 1 .
