Impact of residence time distributions in reacting magnesium packed beds on Grignard reagent formation – pump-induced flow behaviour in non-reacting magnesium beds (part 1)

The RTD within a randomly packed bed of non-uniform, non-spherical Mg turnings depends on the properties of the Mg turnings and the pump-induced flow behavior. Using oscillatory flow rates, Bodenstein numbers can be increased by up to 70%.
