Simulation of absorption processes in nanoparticle catalysts

  • In this contribution, we present a novel modeling approach for mass transport problems that connects the microscale with the macroscale. It is based on a proper investigation of the diffusion process in the catalytic pellets from which, after semi-analytic considerations, a source term for the macroscopic advection-diffusion process can be identified. For the special case of a spherical catalyst pellet, the parabolic partial differential equation at the microscale can be reduced to a single ordinary differential equation in time through the proposed semi-analytic approach. After the presentation of our model, we show results for its calibration against the macroscopic response of a mass transport experiment. Based thereon, the effective diffusion parameters of the catalyst pellet can be identified. Furthermore, we test the model's robustness by applying significant noise to virtual experimental datasets.
