Abstract
Most heterogeneous catalysts are either supported on some kind of porous material or the catalyst itself is porous. To satisfy practical constraints such as pressure drop, handling, and separation from products, these catalysts are generally pelletized. Very often the overall chemical reaction rates within these catalyst pellets are determined by a complicated interaction of internal and external transport effects with the intrinsic kinetic rate at the active surface.Keywords
