438. CORNELL, D. W., AND COTTON, E. (Gulf Oil Corp.). Catalytic Reactor. United States Patent 2,585,441, Feb. 12, 1952: appl. Filed Dec. 22, 1947. Serial No. 793,306; 9 claims (Cl. 23-288).

Presents various structural and operative details. The reactor is specifically adapted for use in any chemical reaction employing a solid catalyst and involving the removal or supply of exothermic or endothermic heat from or to the reaction zone. The use of this reactor materially reduces the equipment necessary for a process, wherein large amounts of fluid reactants are recirculated for temperature control, and minimizes the amount of energy required for circulating the fluids.
