摘要：

A mathematical model of a monolithic reactor for liquid-phase methanol synthesis is developed. The performance of a commercial-scale monolithic reactor is simulated. The influence of various design parameters for different solvents and process conditions is studied. Over the range of process conditions considered, it was found that the mass transfer is sufficiently fast to allow the process to be operated essentially in the kinetic regime. The numerical results are compared with literature data on slurry columns, autoclaves and trickle-bed reactors. The performance of the monolithic reactor was found to be commensurable with these reactors. In view of some of the unique advantages of the monolithic reactor it can be a viable alternative to the conventional methanol reactors.
