Question

The oil-circulation process is similar to which process?

(a) Slurry process

(b) German fixed-bed process

(c) Both of the mentioned

(d) None of the mentioned

I got this question in an internship interview.

Asked question is from Reactor Developemnt in chapter Hydrocarbon Synthesis and Hydroformylation of Unit Processes

Answer 1

Correct answer is (b) German fixed-bed process

To elaborate: The oil-circulation process is similar to the slurry system in that the catalyst is submerged in a high-boiling oil which serves to remove the heat of reaction and permit close control of the temperature.
