Abstract
Describes development of ultra
deep hydrodesulfurization (UDHDS) catalysts, as well as a study of their
kinetics. Experiments were conducted earlier in a continuous flow microreactor
over a presulfided catalyst in the temperature range of 330–360°C, whsv in the
range of 1–3 hr−1, and pressure in the range of 25–50 bar at
hydrogen to hydrocarbon ratio of 750 N dm3/dm3, and its
kinetic parameters estimated.
Researchers simulated
effects of physical catalyst parameters on the internal resistance. Author suggests paths to improving kinetics
for optimum UDHDS catalyst performance.
