In addition to the higher catalytic activity with respect to the conventional three-phase system, the novel four-phase system was highly efficient in catalyst-product separation. Experimental data on concentration-time as well as hydrogen-consumption-time profiles were obtained to study the effect of concentration of aniline, catalyst loading, and the partial pressure of hydrogen. A detailed analysis of gas-liquid, liquid-liquid, liquid-solid, and intraparticle mass transfer was carried out using initial rate data to ensure the kinetic regime. On the basis of these data, several rate equations were evaluated to select a kinetic model. The kinetic parameters were estimated over a temperature range of 378-418 K by fitting the integral batch reactor data. A rate model considering adsorption of hydrogen on the catalyst surface followed by reaction with the liquid-phase components as the rate-limiting step was found to give the best fitting of the experimental concentration-time as well as the hydrogen-consumption-time data at different initial sets of reaction conditions. The activation energies, heat of adsorption, and entropy of adsorption were also evaluated.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">25</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Joint 5th International Symposium on Catalysis in Multiphase Reactors/4th International Symposium on Multifunctional Reactors, Portoroz-Portorose, SLOVENIA, JUN 15-18, 2005</style></notes><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2.567</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
