 mostly a solid catalyst and reactants and products in the gas and liquid phase. Intrinsic reaction kinetics, mass and heat transport processes in the catalyst, G/L and L/S phase equilibria and reactor hydrodynamics are coupled and determine together the overall
 process.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

 active sites. Hydrodynamics in the reactor control the mass and heat transfer rates between gas and liquid, between liquid and solid catalyst, and with the surroundings. These characteristic transport times should be compatible with the intrinsic catalytic
 reaction time(s) for an optimal productivity or selectivity. The increasing use of zeolites with strongly restricted diffusion poses even larger challenges.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
