The importance of measuring diffusion coefficients in reactor design and simulation.

In the past, most of the global sorbitol production was obtained through batch processes, but nowadays, there is an increasing trend towards sorbitol production through continuous hydrogenation. 9–11 Among the continuous reactors extensively used in the industrial context to carry out this type of reaction there is the trickle-bed reactor. 12,13 It is a type of three-phase reactor where the reactants are in the gas and/or liquid phase, while the catalyst is in the solid phase.
