Abstract:In order to obtain the combustion law of toluene in the monolithic catalytic system, numerical simulation of the combustion characteristics of toluene-air on platinum (Pt) in a monolithic catalytic reaction system was carried out using Fluent 18.1. Based on the assumption of local thermal equilibrium between gas and solid in porous media, a three-dimensional catalytic combustion model of porous media was established. Experiments showed that the model could well reflect the combustion characteristics of toluene in the whole system. Through the investigation of temperature field, concentration field and velocity field in the whole reaction system and segmental controlling combustion reaction, it was found that the lean combustion condition was favorable for catalytic combustion, and the rich combustion condition was favorable for inducing thermal combustion. At the equivalent ratio less than 1and the inlet flow rate less than 2 m·s?1, which was beneficial to catalytic combustion, the catalytic conversion rate was above 96%. When the equivalent was relatively high and the inlet flow rate was large, it was favorable for causing thermal combustion. This result provided a reference for the practical application of this technology. Key words:toluene/ catalytic oxidation/ numerical simulation/ reactor/ porous medium.
