Abstract

A catalyst element includes a porous housing; a filter core disposed within the housing; and a filler material comprising a catalyst particle, a redox particle, an oxidizing particle, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing particles, wherein the filler material is disposed within the housing; wherein the catalyst element comprises a plurality of tortuous flow paths, through which a reactive mixture may flow and contact at least a portion of each of the housing, filter core, and filler material. The catalyst element may be useful in a variety of chemical processes including hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, hydrogenolysis, oxidation, reduction, alkylation, dealkylation, carbonylation, decarbonylation, coupling, isomerization, amination, deamination, or hydrodehalogenation.
