Figure 5‐8: Comparison of feed (dotted line) and effluent flow (solid line) depending on the pressure<br />
(conditions: 0.9 mol‐% benzyl alcohol, rest CO2, 80 °C). The dashed line shows the accumulated increase in<br />
benzyl alcohol mass measured by a balance placed at the reactor exit. Note that the initial difference<br />
between feed and effluent flow is due to drag‐out of benzyl alcohol at the exit due to the high gas flow.<br />

Figure 5‐9: Catalytic activity under batch conditions at 140 bar (two phases) and 180 bar (single phase).<br />
Conditions: 3.2 mmol BzOH, 1.6 mmol O2, 354 mmol CO2 (0.9 mol‐% BzOH, 0.45 mol‐% O2), 200 mg<br />
0.5%Pd/Al2O3 (as pellets), 80 °C, pressure as indicated, 1 h reaction time.<br />
5.3.5 Influence of oxygen in the single phase and two phase region<br />
The time required to reach a steady state was usually short within the pressure region of high<br />
conversion (2‐4 h) but became very long (1‐2 days) when changing from the low‐ to the high‐pressure<br />
region indicating that the low conversion is also a cause of gradual (reversible) catalyst deactivation.<br />
