Abstract
The deactivation behavior of Pt-based catalysts in dehydrogenation of normal paraffins was investigated by different methods to elucidate the long-term behavior from short-term (10–100 h) data. Empirical power-law, kinetic modeling and accelerated deactivation tests were employed for analysis of the rate data. The methods were evaluated for extrapolating the conversion-time data using long-term (700 h) test results (temperature 475˚C, pressure 1.7 bar, H2/HC=6 mol/mol, liquid hourly space velocity 20 h−1) of a benchmark commercial catalyst in a fixed-bed reactor. The fresh and used catalysts were characterized by BET, XRF and TG-DTA methods. The kinetic model showed superior results in predicting the deactivation trend. It was used to compare the effect of Li and Mg promoters on a multimetallic catalyst. From the kinetic parameters of the model the order of activity was Pt-Sn-In-Mg/Al2O3 > Pt-Sn-In/Al2O3 > Commercial > Pt-Sn-In-Li/Al2O3 and the order of stability was Pt-Sn-In-Li/Al2O3 > Pt-Sn-In/Al2O3 > Pt-Sn-In-Mg/Al2O3 > Commercial.
期刊介绍:
ChERD aims to be the principal international journal for publication of high quality, original papers in chemical engineering.
Papers showing how research results can be used in chemical engineering design, and accounts of experimental or theoretical research work bringing new perspectives to established principles, highlighting unsolved problems or indicating directions for future research, are particularly welcome. Contributions that deal with new developments in plant or processes and that can be given quantitative expression are encouraged. The journal is especially interested in papers that extend the boundaries of traditional chemical engineering.
