Abstract
A reaction product is made by flowing a liquid containing a reactant through a porous ceramic honeycomb wherein the porosity of the walls of the honeycomb are such that the liquid containing the reactant substantially penetrates into the walls and the reactant reacts as the liquid containing the reactant flows from the inlet end to the outlet end of the monolithic ceramic honeycomb.
Claims20
A method of forming a reaction product from a liquid comprising:
- (a) flowing a liquid containing a reactant into a ceramic honeycomb having an inlet end and outlet end connected by adjacent channels that extend from the inlet end to the outlet end of the ceramic honeycomb, the channels being defined by a plurality of interlaced thin porous partition walls having a catalyst thereon wherein the porosity of the partition walls are such that the liquid containing the reactant substantially penetrates into the walls and the reactant reacts as the liquid containing the reactant flows from the inlet end to the outlet end of the monolithic ceramic honeycomb;
- and
- (b) collecting the reaction product from the outlet end of the ceramic honeycomb.
