Abstract: 
Solid sponges combine large specific surface areas and low pressure losses with excellent heat transport properties. Thus, they are promising catalyst supports for endo- and exothermic processes. Nevertheless, design tradeoffs regarding the porosity and window diameter of solid sponges with respect to high catalyst densities, low pressure losses, and high effective thermal conductivities remain unsolved. Therefore, a 2-d pseudo-homogeneous multi-scale reactor model for solid sponges is developed in this work. The model is validated against polytropic lab-scale experiments for the methanation of carbon dioxide in a fixed-bed reactor. In order to quantify and analyze the design tradeoffs, the model is used to solve the outlined multi-objective optimization problem. Moreover, tailored graded solid sponges with an optimal porosity distribution in the radial direction are introduced to successfully resolve the existing design tradeoffs.
