Mathematical simulation of the formation of liquid products from catalytic cracking gases over a zeolite-containing catalyst modified with Group VI and VIII metals

详细

The kinetics of the formation of liquid products from catalytic cracking gases over a zeolite-containing catalyst in a flow reactor in the temperature range from 260 to 420°C at GHSV = 30–264 h^–1 and an on-stream time of 5–25 s has been investigated. A kinetic model for the process proceeding according to a likely scheme is proposed. The rate constants and activation energies of certain reactions involved in the process have been determined. A mathematical model of the process taking into account the mass and heat balances, as well as hydrodynamic conditions, has been developed. The concentration and temperature fields and the pressure over the catalyst bed height have been calculated. The target product yield on has been plotted as a function of the on-stream time.
