Abstract
A process for the storage or transportation of pretreated, conditioned ion exchangers as catalysts for chemical reactions is disclosed. The preconditioned ion-exchange resin is kept as preconditioned ion-exchange resin suspension in a storage or transporting container. The container with the preconditioned ion-exchange resin suspension is transported to either a storage site for storage or to a reactor for transfer of the resin to the reactor.
Claims9
A process for the transportation of pretreated, conditioned cation ion exchangers as catalysts for chemical reactions, the process comprising:
- keeping the preconditioned ion-exchange resin as preconditioned ion-exchange resin suspension in phenol in a transporting container;
- and
- transporting the container to a reactor for transfer of the resin to the reactor,
- wherein energy input during transfer of the ion-exchange resin suspension to the reactor does not exceed 150 W/m3.
A process for conveying pretreated, conditioned ion-exchange resin as catalysts for chemical reactions, the process comprising:
- conveying a pretreated, conditioned ion exchange resin suspension into a container;
- and after one of transportation or storage the container;
- and
- conveying the ion-exchange resin suspension from the container to a reactor, wherein the energy input in the conveyance of the ion-exchange resin suspension does not exceed 150 W/m3.
