This work aims an experimental comparison of different packings on the basis of their pressure drop, mass and heat transfer properties. Ceramic foams, beads and a honeycomb monolith were used as carriers in the oxidation of carbon monoxide. The carriers were coated with active Pt/SnO2. The CO oxidation rate was measured in the regime of external diffusion control at superficial gas velocities between I and 10m/s. The volumetric rate coefficients and the pressure drop of packings with similar geometric surface area decreased in the sequence particles > foams > honeycomb. The magnitude of the temperature gradient along the catalytic bed decreased as going from honeycomb over larger particles to foams and small particles. Foams were superior over particle beds from the viewpoint of combined high mass transfer and low-pressure drop. The main advantage of foams as compared to honeycomb resided in the radial mixing enabling a better heat transfer to the reactor walls. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
