INFORMATION TO USERS
This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted.
The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction.
1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity.
2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame.
3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.
4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced.

ABSTRACT
The effect of ultrasonic vibrations on the vapor phase decomposition of cumene to benzene and propylene was investigated employing silica-aluminum cracking catalyst.
The catalytic reactor consisted of a 1 cm. diameter stainless steel tube containing a 20 in. long preheater and a ^ in. long catalyst chamber. The catalyst bed was irradiated from above by means of an ultrasonic horn which transmitted acoustical energy directly into the vapor.
The reactor was run at temperatures of 650°F. and 1050°F., frequencies of 26,000 cps and 39,000 cps, feedrates of 20 to 600 gms./hr., power outputs of 0.5 to 1.3
2watts/cm. , and catalyst loadings of approximately 1 to 6 grams.
At temperatures and flow rates where external bulk diffusion controlled the rate of reaction, the application of ultrasound resulted in increases in the mass transfer coefficient up to k0%. In the area where surface reaction and internal pore diffusion controlled, the combined catalyst effectiveness factor - surface reaction rate constant was increased by up to 160%.
Confidence intervals were calculated for the coefficients of the equations expressing log k^ as a function of T and log £ L k 2 as a function of The analysis of

variance indicated that the increases in mass transfer coefficients and combined catalyst effectiveness factor - surface reaction rate constants were significant at ultrasonic frequencies of 39,000 cps. The increases obtained between frequencies of 26,000 cps and no ultrasound were of lesser significance.
It is postulated that ultrasound causes acoustic streaming within the reactor tube and catalyst pores, resulting in higher transport rates caused by the combined effect of diffusion and forced convection as compared to the effect of diffusion alone in the absence of ultrasound. In addition, acoustic energy may cause localized heating within the catalyst bed, thereby increasing the rate of surface reaction.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Purpose and Scope of InvestigationConsiderable information is available in the litera
ture concerning the use of ultrasonic vibrations as an analytical tool and as a source of energy. Although most earlier references describe the passive applications of ultrasound, whereby the propagation characteristics of the sound wave are employed, the field has recently expanded into active applications of acoustical energy. These active applications now include the effect of ultrasonic vibrations on chemical reactions. Although considerable information is available concerning sono- chemical reactions, much of the data and results are contradictory and almost all the experimentation deals with uncatalyzed liquid phase reactions.
It therefore appeared to this author that because of the paucity of quantitative data a most interesting and challenging research would be the study of the effect of ultrasonic vibrations on heterogeneous catalysis, or more specifically, the effect of ultrasound on the catalytic cracking of cumene.
Selection of system. The cumene system was selected for this study because of the following reasons:
Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission.
2
1. Thermal cracking of cumene is negligible at the temperatures employed (650°-1050°F.).
2. The reaction is essentially clean with a minimum production of side products.
223. The reaction mechanism was determined by Garver in 1955 published in his Doctoral Thesis, thus providing an experimental base.
97One literature reference published by Zhorov in 1967 indicates that ultrasound effects the rate of this reaction, thereby providing this author with some indication of success.
Investigation plan. The plan of the investigation was to repeat some of Garver's work to obtain a firm basis for the reaction mechanism in the absence of ultrasound, and then to apply acoustical energy to the reaction and attempt to determine the following effects:
1. The effect of ultrasound on the rate of reaction.2. The effect of ultrasound on the kinetic rate con
stant and the external diffusion coefficient.
Literature SurveyEarly references. Literature references to ultra
sonic vibrations, or more accurately acoustical energy, oc-92cur as early as 1927. At that time, Woody developed a
piezoelectric oscillator of quartz which produced frequencies up to 300,000 cps. It is now possible to produce frequencies

10of over 9 x 10 cps. Frequency ranges between 20,0009and 10' cps are referred to as ultrasonic and ranges
gabove 10 cps are referred to as hypersonic. This investigation deals with the ultrasonic range between20,000 and 50 ,000 cps.
Classification of acoustical energy. Acoustical energy is generally classified according to its application. Passive applications include those by which the propagation characteristics of the sound wave are employed and active applications are those by which the
psound is used as a source of energy. Greguss has classified several applications of acoustical energy according to the frequency employed. This classification is shown in Table 1. It is interesting to note that when Greguss prepared this summary in 1963, sono- chemical effects were limited to liquid phase investigations only.
In addition to frequency, the second important variable in the study of acoustical energy is sound intensity . ^ 1 The intensity of audible sound lies between lO-1^
/ 2and 10 watts/cm. , with the latter value being the threshold of pain. Sound intensities of 120,000 watts/cm. at a frequency of 500,000 cps have been produced in liquids at the Moscow Acoustical Institute. However, the intensities most frequently applied in sonochemical research are those between 1 and 10 watts/cm. Peak intensities of up

2to 1.3 watts/cm. were studied in this investigation because this was the limitation of the equipment employed.
Liquid phase reactions. Many investigations have been reported in the literature describing the effect of ultrasound on liquid phase chemical reactions, but, unfortunately, much of this work has led to erroneous con-
7 3elusions and contradictory results. For example, Shaw'^ reported in 1967 that ultrasound caused scissions of the polymer chain in polysiloxane solutions. He further found that doubling the acoustic intensity at 20,000 cps doubled the degradation rate. Porter^® confirmed this observation that same year when he reported that the average molecular weight of polyisobutylene dissolved in trichlorobenzene was decreased from 4-66,000 to 20,600 by irradiation with ultrasound. Peacocke-' explained this phenomenum in 1968 as a result of his studies of the effect of ultrasound on such linear macromolecules as DNA by stating that the degradation is caused by stresses resulting from the relative movement of the macromolecule and the solvent molecule.
40In contradiction to these observations, Makeevareported in 1967 that polyvinyl chloride prepared bythe bulk polymerization of vinyl chloride and exposedto ultrasound had a higher molecular weight and fewer
28branches. Heymach appeared to add to the confusion

when he reported that cavitation resulting from the application of intense acoustical energy selectively degraded polymers by fracturing longer chains at a faster rate than shorter chains. He concluded that ultrasonic irradiation may be a means of sharpening molecular weight distributions.
Effect on reaction rates. In addition to experimentation in the area of polymers and polymerization, many investigators were interested in the effect of ultrasound on reaction rates. Since it was early in the study of this new form of energy, most investigatorsmade no attempt to explain the individual effects of in-
. Ll Lltensity and frequency. For example, in 1965 Mario reported that the reaction kinetics of the hydrolysis of aspirin are pseudo first order with or without ultrasound. He found that the reaction rate was increased with theapplication of ultrasound.
. . h. ?In 1966, Manu reported that ultrasound at21,000,000 cps and k to 12 watts/cm. increased the re
action rate of the oxidation of the aldehyde group in7 7glucose. In 1968, Stolyarov noted that ultrasound at
frequencies of 20,000 to 100,000 cps increased the oxidation rate of aluminum in water at 90°F. During that
filsame year, Prakash showed that the rate of production of iodine from cesium iodide increased with the appli-

cation of ultrasound at frequencies of 1,000,000 cps and2 34*intensities of 1.^ to 2.4- watts/cm. In 1969, Kowalska^
noted that ultrasonic irradiation increased the oxidation rate of divalent iron to trivalent iron by 300$.
Acoustic intensity and frequency effect. As more information became available describing the effect of ultrasound on reaction kinetics, investigators became more concerned with the specific effects of intensity and frequency. Most available data indicate that increasing intensity increases the reaction rate, but the data concerning the effect of frequency on reaction rate is highly contradictory. During his study of complex ethers in 1966, Zilberg found that ultrasonic intensity increasedthe reaction rate but frequency variations between300,000 and 1,000,000 cps had no effect. Prakash^0 observed that increasing the intensity increased the sono-chemical decomposition of CgHgBr^. Rice^, Sergeeva^2,
7 8 22Suess' and Geissler J all independently confirmed theobservation that increasing ultrasonic intensity increases

cyclohexane with Raney nickel catalyst and ultrasound.He discovered that the reaction rate reached a maximum with increasing intensity and then decreased at any frequency. He further observed that maximum reaction rates were obtained at frequencies of 500 ,000 cps.Finally, Paryjczak-^ reported that the zero order rate constant for the sono-oxidation of FeClg decreased with increasing frequency.
Theory developments. In spite of these contradictory conclusions, many investigators attempted to developtheories to explain the sonochemical effect. In 1950,
g 1Weissler' proposed that the chemical reaction rate under the influence of ultrasound is a function of the sound intensity, duration of exposure, pressure, temperature and volume. In 1965, Nosov^ added the proposal that intramolecular rearrangements and cavitation are the effects of the application of ultrasound to chemical reactions. He further stated that electrical discharges occur within the cavitation bubbles which ionize the solvent and solutes, producing highly reactive free radicals.
19Fogler ' agreed with the theory that cavitation increasesreaction rates as a result of his experimentation with the
13liquid phase hydrolysis of methyl acetate. Currell J produced acetylene by the ultrasonic cleavage of cyclohexanol. His results were also consistent with the theory that the

10
sonochemical reaction takes place within the cavitation22bubbles. Kessler^ was able to promote the chemical de
composition of tetralin and methyl naphthalene by ultra-27sonic irradiation at frequencies of 80,000 cps. Griffing '
finally proposed that ultrasound causes cavitation and luminescence simultaneously. Luminescence may be caused by electrical charges within the cavitation bubble or by extremely high temperatures within the bubble. The cavitation bubbles then act as hot spots which may promoteor enhance chemical reactions.
60Prakash found that the sonochemical decomposition of C2H2Br^ increases with increasing ultrasonic intensity.He theorized that ultrasonic energy caused the formation
86of free radicals within the cavitation bubble. Tuchel concurred with the free radical theory as a result of his experimentation with potassium iodide solution oxidations irradiated with ultrasound at frequencies of 870,000 cps.
kq h.i 37In 1968, Margulis Maltsev and Tuxzynski independently arrived at the conclusion that reaction rate enhancement is due to the formation of free radicals within the cavitation holes.
In addition to the hot spot and free radical theories associated with the cavitation phenomenon, some investigators proposed other theories to explain the effect of ultrasound on the rate of chemical reactions. For example,

Vladar^ continuously produced CaCOH)^ from pure CaCO^and GOg in a tubular reactor and found that ultrasoundincreased the rate of carbonation. He theorized that theultrasonic energy reduced the particle size of the solids
oilresulting in a higher reaction rate. Gindis studiedthe effect of ultrasound on the electrochemical oxidationof KgMnO^ to KMnO^ at frequencies of 20,000 cps and 25 to30 watts/liter. He found that the degree of oxidation atthe anode was increased by 10% to 65% and concluded thatultrasound increased the current efficiency of the elec-
48trolyte by that amount. Needham applied ultrasound to aspirin in ethanol-water solution and found that although the same reaction order was maintained, the rate of degradation increased. Needham theorized that ultrasound lowered the activation energy, increased the rate of molecular collisions, and increased the rate of movement of the products away from each other.
Diffusion theory. In 1968, Belov^ proposed that ultrasound causes higher reaction rates by acceleration of diffusional processes. In 1969, Kowalska^, as a result of his studies of the application of ultrasonic
++ +++fields to the oxidation of Pe to Pe , also concluded that ultrasound decreases the thickness of the diffusion layer. This work, in addition to other confirming evidence, led this author to believe that ultrasound would effect the

rate of diffusion controlled solid-catalyzed gaseous reactions .
Catalyst activity. During the time when many investigators were studying the effect of ultrasound on uncatalyzed liquid phase reactions, some scientists experimented with the effect of ultrasound on catalysts. For
U- oexample, Berger regenerated some catalysts at 900 to1000°C. in the presence of ultrasound at 20 to 100watts/cm. and found that the catalytic activity was
7 5enhanced. Slaczka irradiated nickel and cobalt catalysts with ultrasound during their preparation by the reduction of oxylates and found that their catalytic activity were increased. He concluded that the ultrasonic energy at frequencies of 25,000 cps and 0.3
nwatts/cm. caused an increase in the number of crystal30defects, thus enhancing the activity. In I960, JonesJ
fastened one end of a bundle of catalytically coated wires to an ultrasonic driver while the other end was suspended in a reactor. He noted that the catalytic activity was enhanced for the preparation of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen when ultrasonic energy at frequencies of 500 to300,000 cps was applied.
9 7Gas phase reactions. In 1967, Zhorov studied the effect of ultrasound on the catalytic cracking of cumene. Zhorov proposed that the rate of reaction was controlled

13
by the diffusion rate of the reactants and products to and from the catalyst surface. He discovered that the diffusion rate, and hence the rate of reaction, could be increased by the application of ultrasonic vibrations.
Zhorov's equipment consisted of a continuous reactor in which he placed 7.9 gms. of aluminum-silicate catalyst. Gumene was fed into the reactor at a feed rate of 3.0 g"h™°les (W/Fa 0 = 9,468 ) andcracked at 878°P. The reactor was operated without ultrasound for the first half hour and then ultrasonic energy was applied for the second half hour at a frequency of 20,000 cps and an amplitude of 5 to 6 microns.
Analysis of the liquid product (a mixture of cumene and benzene) indicated that the concentration of benzene increased by 20^ as a result of the application of ultrasound. This result serves as the basis for this author's research.
Reaction mechanism. Before any attempt is made to isolate the effect of ultrasound on the catalytic cracking of cumene, it is necessary to first determine the reaction mechanism of this system in the absence of ultrasonic energy.Considerable work was completed in this area from 19^9 through
2*5 82 831967 by such investigators as Greensfelder , Topchieva * -J,12 6^ 22 50 55Corrigan , Rase , Garver , Panchenkov-^ , Perrin^ ,

most complete investigations was published by Garver in his Doctoral Dissertation of 1955. Garver determined that the reaction mechanism for the cracking of cumene on silica-alumina catalyst at 850°F., 950°F. and 1050°F. was single site with surface reaction controlling and propylene not adsorbed. His experimentation also lead to the determination of the reaction rate constants.
This author's plan was to extend the work of Zhorov into a more detailed quantitative study of the effect of ultrasound on the solid catalyzed cumene reaction employing Garver's work as the basic starting point. This detailed investigation had never been studied previously as witnessed by the absence of published information concerning the effect of ultrasound on solid-catalyzed gaseous reactions.
DiscussionUltrasound may increase the rate of a heterogeneous
solid catalyzed gas reaction by one or more of the following methods.
1. Increase the number of active sites on the catalyst surface.
2. Increase the rate of diffusional processes:A. External bulk diffusionB. Internal pore diffusion
3. Decrease the reaction activation energy.4. Increase the surface reaction rate.

15
5. Increase the pressure at the mouth of the catalyst pore by the application of acoustic energy.
6. Develop localized thermal effects by the application of ultrasonic energy.
Internal pore diffusion, the surface reaction rate and bhe number of active sites are described in a single constant, ^Lk^, the reaction rate constant. If ultrasonic energy affects any of these three parameters and the data fit the reaction rate model at high flow rates, then can be calculated.
External bulk diffusion is proportional to the mass transfer coefficient, k . At low flow rates, mass transferocontrols the rate of reaction, and therefore the effect of ultrasound on k can be measured at low flow rates.
Acoustic pressure can be calculated and, in fact, the variations in pressure at the mouth of the catalyst pore as a result of the application of ultrasonic energy will be shown to be negligible for the power employed in this investigation.
Localized hot spots on the surface of the catalyst will result in increased surface reaction rate constants and reaction rates. Quantitative measurements of this phenomenon are not possible in this investigation, but these thermal effects will also manifest themselves in CLk^, a measurable quantity.

CHAPTER II
THEORY
Continuous Reaction Model
In solid-catalyzed gas-phase reactions, reaction occurs at the gas-solid interfaces. These interfaces lie on the external surface of the catalyst particle and also on the internal surfaces within the catalyst pore. The overall rate of reaction depends upon the availability of these surfaces to the reactants.
For the continuous reaction model, it is assumed that the reaction mechanism consists of seven distinct processes with the rate of reaction controlled by the slowest process.
These processes are described in detail in Appendices III through VII and briefly outlined below.
1. Gas film diffusion of reactants.2. Pore diffusion of reactants.3. Adsorption of reactants.4. Surface reaction5. Desorption of products.

Surface phenomena. The adsorption of cumene onto the catalyst surface, the reaction of cumene on the surface and the desorption of benzene from the catalyst surface are also handled together mathematically.

Typical values of wave characteristics. Values for the velocity of propagation, wavelength, acoustic pressure, amplitude, transverse velocity and acceleration were calculated for cumene at various frequencies and temperatures at the maximum power output and half power output of the equipment. A summary of these calculations is shown in Table 2.
As seen by the table, acoustic pressure as imposed by the sound wave should have little effect on the reaction rate because the pressure fluctuations above and below atmospheric are only a maximum of 1.62 psi at 650°F. and 1.50 at 1050°F. Furthermore, the acoustic pressure is lower at the higher frequency as a result of the mechanical characteristics of the equipment.
This research will, in fact, show that the dependency of reaction rate on power input alone for the range studied is negligible and that frequency alone and frequency together with power input are the important factors. Molecular acceleration, which is a function of both frequency and power, is very high in the ranges studied, as

EXPERIMENTAL EQUIPMENT
Flow ChartFigure 1 is a schematic flow chart of the apparatus
employed in this study. Valves and by-pass piping have been omitted from the drawing for the purpose of maintaining simplicity and clarity. Detailed specifications of all the equipment employed are described in Table 3 .
The system consists of two feed tanks to which the cumene is charged, a feed rotameter for metering the feed to the reactor, the reactor and a heat exchanger to condense the cumene and benzene effluent. The small amount of propylene gas formed is vented to the atmosphere.
The apparatus is also equipped with a nitrogen source for pressurizing the feed tanks and blowing down the reactor prior to regeneration. A second rotameter is provided for metering regeneration air to the reactor.
Attached to the top of the reactor is the ultrasonic horn by which the catalyst bed is irradiated with ultrasonic energy.

are pressured up to 10 psig with nitrogen. The nitrogen pressure is maintained constant by means of a gas pressure regulator so as to maintain a constant pressure drop across the feed rotameter needle valve. The feed rotameter is employed manually to control the cumene feed rate to the reactor; however, for measurement purposes, the difference in liquid level of the feed tanks for the duration of the run is employed for the average feed rate calculation.
Regeneration SystemAfter each run, regeneration air is fed to the re
actor through the air rotameter at a rate of approximately 0.1 scfm for a period of 2^ hours to regenerate the catalyst by burning off the carbon deposits (see Appendix XIII).
ReactorThe reactor design is illustrated in Figures 2 and
3. It consists of a * in. schedule 80 type 316 stainless steel pipe, 20^ in. long, welded to a 2 in. O.D. stainless steel rod drilled to an I.D. of in. The i in. pipeis encased in a 2 in. O.D. rod drilled to snugly fit the pipe. The casing provides the reactor with mass so as to stabilize the operating temperatures. The reactor is flanged at both ends and is equipped with a \ in. spud

near the top for catalyst addition and product removal. Inserted within the spud is a ^/8 in. thermocouple well.
The \ in. x 20-| in. long pipe serves as the preheater section, and the upper 2V 6 4 in. I,D. x 6 3 A- in. long cylinder is the catalyst chamber. The end of the thermocouple well inserted within the spud extends down into the catalyst chamber and is immersed in the catalyst bed. The catalyst is supported within the chamber by means of a fine mesh stainless steel screen.
The location of all seven thermocouples and five heating elements are illustrated in Figure 3. Six of the thermocouples, TI-1 through TI-6, are affixed to the outside of the reactor wall and connected to a temperature recorded. The seventh thermocouple, TG-1, is inserted in the thermowell and connected to a temperature controller.
The reactor is heated by five Nichrome V beaded wire heaters located as indicated in Figure 3. The power input to each heater is manually controlled by adjustment of five powerstats. The powerstats controlling the power input to heating zones 3 and k are automatically controlled by the temperature controller which continuously monitors the temperature at TC-1. Constant voltage is maintained to the control circuit by use of a constant

voltage transformer.
The entire reactor is insulated with approximately ^ in. of refractory rope and 2 in. of magnesia covered with an aluminum sheath.
CondenserThe reaction products, cumene, benzene and propyl
ene, enter the condenser from the reactor at approximately 650-1050°P. whereupon they are cooled to approximately 75°P. The cumene and benzene are condensed and collected and the propylene, which remains in the vapor phase at this temperature, is vented to the atmosphere.
Ultrasonic HornThe ultrasonic horn is 3 in. in diameter and is
mounted directly atop the reactor by means of a specially fabricated 3 in. by 1 in. adapter flange. The horn is driven by a variable frequency ultrasonic generator with a variable output frequency of 10 ,000 to 50,000 cps.
The maximum operating temperature of the piezoelectric transducer which drives the horn is 300°C.(572°F.) and the minimum allowable operating temperature of the horn to prevent condensation of the highest boiler, cumene, is 153°C. (308°F.). Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the temperature of the ultrasonic horn at approximately 175°G. This is accomplished by recirculating

The oil is recirculated, through a water cooled, heat exchanger to the ultrasonic horn cooling chamber and thence to an electrically heated surge pot by means of a 1 gpm centrifugal pump. By proper adjustment of the power- stat controlled electric heater and oil flow to the cooler, it is possible to maintain the recirculating oil at approximately 175°C.
PipingAll piping consists of \ in. stainless steel threaded
pipe and fittings and \ in. copper tubing with compression type fittings. Teflon tape is employed on all threaded connections.
Analytical InstrumentationThe quality of the effluent product is analyzed by
use of a gas-liquid chromatograph in conjunction with a single pen strip chart recorder. The chromatograph response was standardized daily by injecting and analyzing a known sample. The analytical system is designed to handle either gas samples taken from the reactor effluent prior to condensation or liquid samples from the condenser effluent. The analysis of the liquid samples proved to be almost identical to that of the gaseous sample. Comparative analyses and conversion calculations are shown in Appendix IX.

CHAPTER IV
EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE
Operating ConditionsThe operating conditions studied in this investiga
tion were temperatures of 650°F. to 1050°F., feed rates of 20 to 600 gms./hr., catalyst loadings of 0.958 to 5.748 gms., ultrasonic frequencies of 26,000 cps and39,000 cps, and power outputs of 0 .05 to 1.3 ~ ^ ,s.The general procedure followed was to obtain the desired reactor temperature and then feed the cumene at a predetermined rate and catalyst loading. Each run was operated at two different ultrasonic frequencies and in the absence of ultrasound.
General ProcedureThe reactor was purged with air at reaction tempera
ture after each run for a period of approximately 24 hours to burn off any carbon deposit and regenerate the catalyst. Calculations indicate (Appendix XIII) that 10 minutes should be sufficient to burn off the carbon and visual inspection of the reactor after regeneration for 30 minutes indicated it to be free from carbon. Comparison of conversions in the absence of ultrasound between runs employing the same catalyst after many regenerations and nearly the same operating conditions also indicated complete reactivation. For example, comparing Run No. 14.83 with Run No.

22.135 shows conversions of 4.5$ and. 4.2$ at feed rates
of 593 gms./hr. and 622 gms./hr., respectively, all other conditions being identical. Similar checks are observed
in many other runs, for example Run No. 33*23 and 36.53*The reactor was also purged with nitrogen after each run and
after each air purge in order to avoid the safety hazard of
hot cumene in the presence of air.
Each time the sonic frequency was changed during a
run, the product collected during the first ten minutes was
discarded and the product produced during the second ten
minutes was blended and sampled as representative of those
operating conditions. Previous work has shown that any de
crease in catalyst activity during a run of this length of
time could be neglected.
Temperature control. The temperature of the reactor
was controlled by manually adjusting two voltage regulators
which monitored the power input to the heating elements
along the preheater section. The catalyst chamber tempera
ture was controlled automatically by an on-off temperature controller connected in series with two additional voltage
regulators which monitored the power input to the heating
elements along the catalyst chamber. The temperature for
this control point was sensed by a thermocouple located in
the catalyst chamber itself (see Appendix XV). A fifth manu
ally operated voltage regulator was employed to control a
heating element located on the product discharge piping.

The heaters were never turned off so that the reactor was always at temperature equilibrium. When the reactor temperature was changed, approximately 24 hours was allowed for the catalyst bed to again reach temperature equilibrium.
Feed rate control. The cumene feed rate was controlled by pressurizing the feed tank to 10 psig with nitrogen and recording the tank level and time at the start and end of each run. The flow rate was controlled by the feed flow rotameter, but the rate used in any subsequent calculations was the rate obtained by difference of the calibrated feed tank level.
Application of ultrasound. Each run was operated first in the absence of ultrasound and then the ultrasonic generator was activated and frequencies of 26,000 cps and 39,000 cps were irradiated upon the catalyst bed. The order in which the higher and lower frequencies were employed was reversed many times throughout this study.Each run was operated in the absence of ultrasound after each of the frequency activated samples had been taken as a check for decrease in catalyst activity from the start to the end of the run. The analyses of the first and last sample, i.e., the samples taken in the absence of ultrasound were always essentially the same.
Sample analyses. In many instances, the gas stream was fed directly to the gas chromatograph for analysis as

a check against the liquid sample analysis. In all cases, both methods of analysis yielded essentially the same conversion calculation. The analysis of liquid samples was preferred, because the same sample was injected a minimum of three times into the gas chromatograph as a check of the analytical technique. The vapor sample, of course, could be injected only once.
The size of the gaseous sample was controlled by filling a small tubing coil with the reaction products and flushing’ the entire coil contents into the chromatograph with helium. Sample size of the liquid was controlled by use of a 10 microliter hyperdermic needle calibrated in 0.2 microliters. The analyses of known liquid samples were duplicated within 1%, indicating sample size control to be adequate.
Detailed ProcedureThe details of the experimental procedure for a typi
cal run are as follows:1. Set the reactor air purge rate at 6.0 scfh
employing the air flow rotameter.2. Adjust the heater controls to obtain the desired
reactor temperature.3. Adjust the automatic temperature controller set
point to the desired reactor temperature.4. Allow approximately 24 hours for the reactor to
equilibrate at the desired temperature.

CHAPTER V
EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS
Presentation of All DataAll the data collected (Appendix XIV) are presented
herein as plots of conversion versus reciprocal space velocity. The best curve fit of the data was calculated for each temperature and frequency employed by the quadratic regression equation:
x = a + b (W/F) + C (W/F)2 (21)
Since the external mass transfer rate is dependent upon feed rate, the equations of these curves are later employed to determine conversion at specific reciprocal space velocities for the calculation of mass transfer coefficients .
The three constants obtained for each condition are shown in Table k. The plot of the curves showing all the data points are in Appendix XVI and the plots for each family of three curves for each frequency are shown for all the temperatures studied in Figures 8 through 16.The data points are omitted for clarity. It is noted that although several of the curves cross at low reciprocal space velocity, the actual data indicate higher conversions at higher frequencies in every case. This is because the shape of the quadratic curves near the origin often does not precisely fit the data points.

Conversions obtained at temperatures above 850°P. decreased slightly at higher temperatures at some feed rates indidicating partial coking of the reactor. Although some date were collected at 1050°F., coking of the reactor and catalyst at this temperature caused considerable mechanical difficulty with the apparatus. Therefore, attempts to study the effect of ultrasound at 1050°F. were abandoned.
The quadratic curves presented herein are employed for future calculation purposes only and should not be construed to represent a theoretical model of the reaction mechanism.
It will be shown that on the upper portion of the quadratic curves, at low feed rates, external bulk diffusion is the controlling factor for the reaction rate. On the lower portion of the curves, at high feed rates, the combined effect of surface reaction and internal pore diffusion control the rate of reaction.
Although the quadratic curves show a decrease in conversion at lower acoustical power inputs at low flow rates, it will be shown later that there is, in fact, negligibleeffect on either the mass transfer coefficient, k , or the
’ g*kinetic rate constant, (fLkg.

External Diffusion ControllingWhen external bulk diffusion controls the rate of re
action, the mass transfer coefficient, k , is the controlling factor. The mass transfer coefficient is calculated from the following equation derived in Chapter II and Appendix IV:
6.26 XAf TkS = ( W/FAq) ln( 1 + Ya lm) (2?J
The mass transfer coefficient was calculated at three different feed rates corresponding to reciprocal space velocities of 20,000, 50,000 and 80,000 'Ca^"S-— ---. The re-7 , 7 7 gm molesuits of these calculations are shown in Table 5*
Temperature effect. As is shown in the AppendixVI, the mass transfer coefficient is an exponential function of temperature. Therefore, a plot of the logarithm of the mass transfer coefficient versus temperature should yield a straight line. This, in fact, is the case as illustrated in Figures 17 through 22. The equations of the straight lines as obtained by the method of least squares are shown in Table 6. The calculation of the confidence intervals shown in Table 6 is demonstrated in Appendix XXII.
As shown in the graphs, the mass transfer coefficients calculated at 650°F. (6l6°K.) and 700°F. (6*l40K.) fall well below the theoretical curve. The reason for this phenomenon is because external bulk diffusion no longer controls the

rate of reaction at these low temperatures. In fact, even at these low flow rates, surface reaction is so slow at 650°P. and 700°F. that it becomes the controlling factor in the overall reaction rate. At above 850°F. (727°K.) surface reaction rate is very rapid and external bulk diffusion controls the rate of reaction.
Ultrasonic effect. The family of three curves showing each frequency is plotted at the three feed rates in Figures 23, 23A and 2k. In all cases, the mass transfer coefficient and hence the reaction rate is increased with the application of ultrasound. The mass transfer rate also increases at the higher frequencies. For example, at a reciprocal space velocity of 80,000 ^g ^ 'moTe'8'0 ‘ an(i a frequency of 39,000 cps, the mass transfer coefficient is increased by 377 at 1000°F. The increase of mass transfer rates at other conditions are shown in Table 7.
Since in this range of feed rate and temperature reaction rate is directly proportional to the mass transfer coefficient, the results illustrated in Table 7 also apply to reaction rate.
At high feed rates and low temperatures where surface reaction begins to control the rate of reaction, high frequency sound waves appear to have a much greater effect on the reaction rate than at higher temperatures where mass transport controls. This phenomenon is indicated in the

data of Table 7 at reciprocal space velocities of 20,000
indicate that ultrasound has a greater influence upon pore diffusion and surface reaction rate than upon external mass transport.
The data points on the graphs represented by triangles are those obtained with the ultrasonic generator operating at half power. Since these points fall on the theoretical curve developed for full power within the 90% confidence interval, it is concluded that power input has no effect on the external mass transfer rate for the range of power input studied in this research.

The literature values of K, and are substituted into the surface reaction rate equation and the values of ^Lkg are calculated at each temperature as described in Appendix VIII. All the theoretical curves and the associated data points are also shov/n in Appendix VIII, and the data do, in fact, fit the theoretical model very well.
Ultrasonic effect. When surface reaction controls the rate of reaction, the application of ultrasound increased that rate by increasing the kinetic rate constant, CLk^, which is directly proportional to the overall rate of reaction. The evaluation of the effectiveness factor based upon physical characteristics of the catalyst is shown in Appendix VI.
The graphs of conversion as a function of reciprocal space velocity as calculated by the reaction rate model are as illustrated in Figures 25 through 33. As illustrated by the graphs, the conversion is increased in the presence of ultrasound at every temperature studied. At temperatures above 900°F., the decrease in conversion at some flow rates again indicates possible coking of the reactor.
Table 8 shows the increase in the factor ^ k g at several ultrasonic frequencies and temperatures.

For example, at 650°F. an ultrasonic frequency input of 39,000 cps increases the catalyst effectiveness factor by 162#.
Activation Energy
Arrhenius model. The activation energy, E, is calculated from the Arrhenius Law, employing the combined parameter, Llc2 , as rea°kion ^ate constant.
JL£Lk2 = kQe“RT (27)
Figures 3^ through 37 show the logarithm of the parameter £ L k 2 plotted against reciprocal temperature. These plots yield a straight line, the equations for which, calculated by the method of least squares, are as follows and as shown in Table 8A.

These calculations, which are described fully in Appendix XVII, yield the values for the observed apparent activation energy as shown in Table 9*
The data in Table 9 indicate that both the observed apparent activation energy and the observed apparent frequency factor decrease as the ultrasonic frequency rises. However, an analysis based on the Thiele modulus would indicate that if ultrasound improves the effectiveness factor, then the apparent activation energy should rise and approach the real activation energy based on kg since € becomes closer to one.
To determine the real effect of ultrasound on and kg, it is suggested that further studies with small particle sizes be made (£~1) to separate these effects.

Table 9 also illustrates the values of activation energy and characterization factor obtained by several other investigators. Considering the wide range of values obtained by other observers, the value calculated by these data appear to be reasonable. It is interesting to note that the total ultrasonic power input to the reactor ranged between ^ .3 and 103.^ which bracketedgm molethe activation energy.
Ultrasonic effect. As shown in Figure 37, the value of the effectiveness factor parameter, (fLkg, increases with increasing frequency. At low values of reciprocal temperature or high values of temperature, the values of
become equal at all frequencies because surface reaction rate no longer controls. At high temperatures, surface reaction rate is very rapid and bulk diffusion from the main gas stream to the surface of the catalyst controls the overall rate of reaction.
The values of 6 Lk^ obtained at half the power output of the equipment are plotted as triangles on the graphs for frequencies of 26,000 cps and 39,000 cps. The plots indicate that this decrease in power input has negligible effect on the value of

rate increases with increasing frequency. Power input has negligible effect on the rate of reaction for the range studied.
Throughout the range of feed rates and temperatures studied, external bulk diffusion controls at low feed rates and high temperatures and conversely, surface reaction controls or pore diffusion at high feed rates and low temperatures. These phenomena are illustrated in Figure 38.
It should be noted that when the dimensions of € Lkg are transposed from t0 > as shown lnAppendix XVIII, it can be plotted as a function of temperature as illustrated in Figure 38. In this figure,CLkg is described as the intrinsic reaction rate constant, k . The scale of the abscissa has been altered to ’ scorrespond to k ,, the mass transfer coefficient scale.This alteration is necessary because the 6 Lk2 term is not a function of k^, the forward rate constant, alone, but also of 6 and L, the catalyst effectiveness factor and the concentration of active sites on the catalyst surface.
Acoustic StreamingThis research shows for the first time that the ap
plication of ultrasonic vibrations to a solid catalyzed gas reaction results in an increased reaction rate with increasing frequency as a result of increased diffusion rates. The diffusion rate is increased both externally from the

bulk gas stream to the catalyst surface and internally within the catalyst pore.
20Fogler and Lund have independently offered a mathematical explanation for this phenomena which they have identified as acoustic streaming. Their mathematical model states that within a duct, through which there is a concentration gradient, mass transfer occurs by molecular diffusion alone. However, when ultrasound is applied to the duct, small vortex cells are set up in which the gas moves circularly similar to eddy currents. This forced convection within each cell coupled with diffusion between cells results in a faster transport rate within the duct than with diffusion alone.
If one assumes the duct to be a tubular reactor shell or the pore of a catalyst, this model explains the results and conclusions of this research.
Thermal EffectsThe application of acoustic energy to a catalyst bed
may cause "hot spots" within the bed and thereby result in localized accelerated reaction rates. This thermal effect alone or together with increased diffusion rates may explain the increase in reaction rate observed in this research.

CHAPTER VI
CONCLUSIONS
The effect of ultrasonic vibrations on heterogeneous catalysis may be summarized as follows:
1. All the data collected at all temperatures and frequencies yield quadratic curves when plotted as conversion versus reciprocal space velocity.
2. In the area where external bulk diffusion controls the rate of reaction, the logarithm of the mass transfer coefficient is a linear function of temperature at all ultrasonic frequencies.The mass transfer coefficient and, therefore, the rate of reaction increases with increasing ultrasonic frequency.
3. In the area where surface reaction and internal pore diffusion control the rate of reaction, the data fit the reaction rate model previously derived by Garver at all frequencies and temperatures, The kinetic rate constant, CLkg, increases with increasing frequency.
5. The activation energy calculated from these data decrease with increasing frequency.
6. Power input appears to affect the rate of reaction in the plots of conversion versus reciprocal space

velocity at low feed rates. However, in the logarithmic plots of mass transfer coefficient and kinetic rate constant versus temperature, the effect of power is not statistically significant for the range studied.
7. The increases of mass transfer coefficients and kinetic rate constants obtained at a frequency of 39,000 cps are statistically significant within confidence intervals of 90^. The results obtained at 26,000 cps lie within confidence limits of 50 to 60%, but the raw data lead this author to believe that the lower frequency also increases the rate of reaction.

CHAPTER VII
RECOMMENDATIONS
This research demonstrates for the first time the quantitative effect of ultrasonic vibrations on the rate of a solid catalyzed gas reaction. It further demonstrates that this reaction rate is increased in the reactant feed flow range where external bulk diffusion controls and in the range where internal pore diffusion is the controlling factor. Increasing ultrasonic frequency results in faster reaction rates, and power input in the range studied has negligible effect. These phenomena have never previously been quantitatively demonstrated.
It is this author's hope that this research will influence other investigators to continue studies of the effect of ultrasonic vibrations on heterogeneous catalyzed reactions. The areas recommended for further study are as follows:
1. Employ the use of powdered catalyst (Appendix XII) to obtain an absolute value for the forward reaction rate constant, kg. The absolute values of the effectiveness factor, €, could then be calculated at various operating conditions employing standard catalyst. It would then be possible to determine the effect of ultrasound on each parameter alone.

112. Study frequencies up to 10 cps and power inputsto 120 •- to expand the range of this study,cm.It is now possible to obtain these conditions with modern ultrasonic equipment, but this equipment is, of course, considerably more expensive.
3. Study the effect of ultrasonic vibrations on systems other than the cumene cracking reaction and silica-alumina catalyst.
k . Investigate the possible thermal effects on the datalyst due to the application of ultrasonic energy.

CONTINUOUS REACTION MODEL

CONTINUOUS REACTION MODEL
In solid-catalyzed gas-phase reactions, it is assumed that the reaction takes place at the gas-solid interface. The interface lies on the external surface of the catalyst and on the internal surfaces within the catalyst pore. The overall rate of reaction depends upon the availability of these surfaces.
For the continuous reaction model, it is assumed that the reaction mechanism consists of seven distinct processes. That process, or combination of processes, which are significantly slower than the others, control the rate of reaction. The seven processes involved in the catalytic cracking of cumene are described below and illustrated in Figure 39.
Gas Film Diffusion of ReactantsReactant cumene (A) diffuses from the main gas stream
to the external surface of the catalyst.

Surface ReactionAdsorbed cumene (A) reacts to form adsorbed benzene
(R) and propylene (S) which is not adsorbed. This single site reaction mechanism was shown in previous work by Garver to be the actual mechanism occurring.
In the dual site reaction mechanism, both products are adsorbed.
Desorption of ProductsAdsorbed product benzene (R) is desorbed from the
catalyst surface.
Pore Diffusion of ProductsProducts benzene (R) and propylene (S) diffuse from
the catalyst pore to the external surface of the catalyst (mouth of the catalyst pore).

GAS FILM DIFFUSION
The gas film diffusion of cumene (A), benzene (R) and propylene (S), which is process one and seven of the reaction mechanism, can be handled mathematically as a simple diffusion process. Reactant A (cumene) diffuses from the main gas stream to the catalyst surface and products R and S (benzene and propylene) diffuse from the catalyst surface into the main gas stream. These phenomena are illustrated in Figure 4-0.
The diffusion rate is calculated as follows:

PORE DIFFUSION
The effect of pore diffusion (processes two and six of the reaction mechanism) on the rate of reaction is expressed by applying a correction factor to the rate equation. The term C^, total concentration of available active sites, is replaced by the product of the terms L, the total concentration of active sites, and £, the ratio of the actual reaction rate to the theoretical reaction rate if the resistance to pore diffusion were absent, f is known as the catalyst effectiveness factor.
The effectiveness factor of spherical catalysts with arbitrarily shaped pores is derived as follows:

At frequency inputs of 26,000 cps and 39,000 cps the rate constant ^lkg increases as shown previously because the effectiveness factor, £ , or surface reaction rate constant, k2, increases. When the effectiveness factor increases, the Thiele Modulus, hg, must decrease, requiring the effective diffusivity, D0 , to increase. The effect of ultrasound, therefore, may be to increase the diffusion rate of cumene in the catalyst pores.

Evaluation of Reaction Rate Constants
For this research, Tf= 1 atm. and CLkR is handledas a single constant. The rate equation then contains four parameters; €Lk2, Ka , Kr and K. The values of the parameters K, Ka and Kr obtained by Garver and extrapolated
computer calculated by curve fitting the data by use of Marquardfs non-linear square fit program.
Table 10 shows the literature values of K, Ka and K r for each of the temperatures studied along with the calculated values of ^LkR at 26,000 cps, 39»000 cps and in the absence of ultrasound.
The graphs of conversion as a function of reciprocal space velocity illustrating all the data points and the calculated theoretical curves are illustrated in Figures 48 through 73- Considerable scattering of the data is apparent at 650°F. because of the low conversions obtained at that temperature and the accompanying analytical errors.
to 650°F. are shown in Figure 47.
These literature values of three of the fourparameters were substituted into the surface reaction rate equation, and the fourth parameter, ^Lk?, was

SAMPLE ANALYSIS

SAMPLE ANALYSIS
Samples of the reactor effluent were obtained by the following methods:
Gas Sample
The high temperature (650-1050°F.) gaseous effluent is introduced directly into the gas chromatograph via a gas sampling valve. This method proved to be no more accurate than the liquid sample method, even though the sample represents the entire effluent stream.
Liquid Sample
The reactor effluent is partially condensed and subcooled to 70°F. The propylene remains in the gas phase at this temperature and is vented from the system. The remaining liquid phase is injected into the gas chromatograph. Little accuracy is sacrificed by this technique because of the unaccounted for losses of cumene and benzene in the gaseous propylene stream.
The following calculations compare the two sampling techniques, assuming a total cumene feed to the reactor of 100 gm moles and a conversion of 20$.

Standing Waves
Definition
Standing waves are caused as a result of the reflection of sound waves back from the end of a tube. The total displacement is the sum of the displacements of the original wave and the reflected wave. Whereas, in a travelling wave the amplitude remains constant as the wave form progresses, in a standing wave, the amplitude fluctuates and the wave form remains fixed.

THE CARBON-OXYGEN REACTION
During several of the initial runs in this study, a problem was encountered with carbonization of the cumene at reaction temperatures of 1000°F. and subsequent plugging of the reactor and fouling of the catalyst. Carbonization was sometimes so severe that it was often very difficult to remove the preheater from the reactor to clean it.
This problem was solved by purging the reactor with air at reaction temperature for hours after each run to burn off the carbon.
The Carbon-Oxygen Reaction Rate Equation
For the reaction

1 - 39,000 cps2 - 26,000 cps3 - no ultrasound
A coding system was necessary to avoid confusion since a total of ^79 runs were made, involving some 64-0 samples and 1,920 gas chromatograph analyses.
In every case, a run in the absence of ultrasound was made before and after the application of ultrasound. The analyses reported are the average of six samples, three samples being taken before and three samples after.
The order in which the 39,000 cps and 26,000 cps ultrasonic frequencies were applied were randomly reversed throughout the entire investigation.
Conversions were calculated from liquid samples, but were checked often against gas samples taken directly from the reactor.

THERMOCOUPLE CORRECTION
The reaction temperature of all runs was controlled by a Leeds & Northrup Speedomax Temperature Controller. The controller maintained the desired temperature by enerpjizlnp; and de-enerpizinpr the reactor heaters. The control temperature was sensed by a thermocouple which was inserted in a thermocouple well. The tip of the thermocouple well was located inside the reactor and into the catalyst bed.
Because of the heat conduction from the tip of the thermocouple well to the cooler external end of the well, the temperature at the thermocouple junction will be less than the actual r,as temperature passing by the tip.Bird^ has shown this error to conform to the following equation:
'IT = temperature indicated by thermocouple, 950°F.
T = temperature of cool end of thermocouple well, 570°F.
T = actual p:as temperature, °ii’.3. 'h = heat transfer coefficient, 120 Op
L = length of well, 0.708 ft.

Therefore, the error is i.nsiynif icant and the thermocouple does sense the actual a3 temperature.

QUADRATIC REGRESSION EQUATION
All the data collected at each temperature and frequency are presented herein as plots of conversion versus reciprocal space velocity. The curves best fitting the data were calculated by the quadratic regression method to fit the following equation:
n - number of data points.
The resulting three constants for each operating condition are shown in Table 13 end the data and calculated curves are shown in Figures 86 through 111.
The quadratic regression curves were employed only to evaluate conversion at the specific reciprocal space velocities
significance of the mass transfer coefficient as a function of temperature as calculated from the conversion versus reciprocal space velocity information obtained from the regression lines was then determined.

EVALUATION OF REACTION ACTIVATION ENERGY
Arrhenius' Law
Arrhenius' Lav;, which describes the reaction rate constant as a function of the reaction activation energy and temperature is a follows:
k = k e RT (151)
where,
k = reaction rate constant, ^ " cat'-fec
kn - frequency factor, — o * -r j cat-sec, . . . cal
a = activation energy ----- =—’ ym moleT = temperature,°K
calH = conversion factor, 1.98 mole oK _
For solid catalyzed, reactions, the surface reaction rate corrected for pore diffusion, £ Lk^, is substituted for k, the reaction rate constant. After this substitution is made, the natural logarithm of the equation is taken in order to obtain a linear function of reciprocal temperature.

Calculation of Activation EnergyKIn the above equation, - — is the slope of the straight

As shown in Chapter V, the equations for the curvesat the frequencies studied are as follows:
1no ultrasound: log^Lk^ = -4812 -1.l4l (154)
In CLk£ = -6 1 5 7 -2.628

The calculation of activation energy, E, from the constants associated with reciprocal temperature obtained from the above equations yield the following results:
