OPTIMIZED REACTOR An inlet temperature of 563K, a coolant temperature of 558K and an inlet pressure 2.4 bar produce a gain under two. Other conditions gave a thermodynamically unstable reactor. With these conditions the reactor volume and catalyst weight were changed to give a 90% conversion and optimal selectivity of maleic anhydride.
