Abstract
Offers results of the modeling of the industrial process of catalytic dehydrogenation of C₉–C₁₄n-alkanes, one of the technological stages in the production of linear alkyl benzene used in the synthesis of synthetic detergents.
Authors describe application of the developed mathematical model in evaluating the influence of the raw material composition on the target product yield. They present calculation results for the optimal technological modes with various dehydrogenation Pt-catalysts, as well as for prediction of catalysts life.
