Abstract

In this paper, the reaction network of FTO simplified by kMC was combined in CFD model at bed-scale and whole reaction tube scale. A reaction network consisting of 100 steps elementary reaction of 40 species from DFT was analyzed by kMC to identify the main conversion pathway. The obtained pathway was combined in CFD with a particle-resolved bed model to understand the reaction process. The simulated results showed that increasing inlet temperature increased the net producing rate ratio of ethylene to propylene, decreasing the inlet flow rate reduced the net reaction rate of CO₂. The simulated results of reactor tube scale predicted a STY of 1.55 kg/(L_cat h) of lower olefins, a total CO conversion of 93.5%, selectivity for ethylene, propylene, CO₂ of 7.0%, 43.0% and 50.0%, a hot spot of 619.55 K at 0.1 m from inlet. The total number of reaction tubes would be 3688 for a 200,000 tons per year low olefin plant.
