Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Today's catalytic forecast: migrating front and hot spots</bold> The cover picture shows the conversion of ethylene to 1‐butene and 2‐butene by using a fixed‐bed reactor with the catalyst bed consisting of supported ionic liquid phase (SILP) catalyst particles. In their Full Paper on <ext-link ext-link-type="doi" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">p. 162 ff., </ext-link> P. Wasserscheid et al. describe that the applied homogeneous nickel complex exhibits a high activity and selectivity to 2‐butene. The observed catalyst deactivation is attributed to a migrating reaction/deactivation front travelling through the catalyst bed in combination with hot spot formation. The time until catalyst deactivation could be heavily prolonged by optimization of catalytic and process parameters.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg4smt1q2r" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
