Claims
- 1. A method for rapid collection of kinetic rate data from a plug flow temperature scanning reactor in which a feed stock is reacted under non-steady state thermal conditions to form a conversion product and which method comprises:
- repeatedly ramping the temperature and space velocity of said feed stock over selected ranges of temperature at selected ramping rates from a constant inlet temperature; continuously monitoring output conversion and output temperature of said feed stock and conversion product for the same time in each run, and determining therefrom a reaction rate which is representative of steady state conditions although such data is obtained when said feed stock is reacted in said reactor under said non-steady state conditions.
- 2. A method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the space velocity of each said run is a selected multiple of the space velocity of a first said run.
