TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENT EFFECTIVE THERMAL
CONDUCTIVITY AND THERMAL DIFFUSIVITY OF
CATALYSTS AND THEIR SUPPORTS IN VARIOUS 
GAS MEDIA AND IN VACUUM.
1. THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY AND THERMAL DIFFUSIVITY
OF GRANULAR POROUS SUPPORTS AND CATALYSTS

The basic characteristics of catalysts and their supports 
and the results of experimental studies of the thermal conductivity 
and thermal diffusivity of some supports and catalysts in the temperature 
range of 293-1073 K in vacuum (P = 1.07 Pa) and in an atmosphere 
of air, argon, nitrogen, helium, hydrogen and in a gas mixture (0.2NH3 
+ 0.3N2 + 0.5H2) are reported. It is established 
that as the temperature rises in the all gas media and in vacuum the 
thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of a burden of the catalysts 
and their supports increase according to a linear law and depend on 
the size and shape of the granules rather than on their specific surface.
