Part of the book series: Springer Reference Naturwissenschaften ((SRN))

Zusammenfassung

Dieses Kapitel befasst sich mit der Anwendung monolithischer Strukturen für Dreiphasen-Reaktionen. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf Hydrodynamik, Stoff- und Wärmetransport sowie auf der vergleichenden Einordnung von Monolithreaktoren und klassischen Rieselbettreaktoren im Hinblick auf ihre diesbezüglichen Eigenschaften. Mögliche Vorteile und Anwendungsgebiete von Monolithreaktoren werden ebenfalls diskutiert. Betrachtet werden hierbei Waben, Schäume sowie weitere konventionell und additiv gefertigte monolithische Strukturen.
