Mahoney-Robinson Spinning Catalyst Basket Reactor

Annular catalyst basket is rotated on a shaft to move the catalyst through the reactants.

  
   

The annular catalyst basket is rotated on a shaft to move the catalyst through the reactants. Baffles inside the basket and fixed baffles outside the basket direct reactant flow.
