Propulsion jet reactors may be used as differential recycle loop reactors in heterogeneous gas catalysis for reaction kinetics analysis. This reactor features straightforward design resulting in comparatively low manufacturing costs. Because of its advantages, the propulsion jet reactor is suited to kinetic examination under extreme reaction conditions with regard to pressure, temperature, or corrosion. The typical features here are the lower gas densities, which decrease further with increasing reaction temperatures, thus reducing the kinetic energy input through the propulsion jet.
