Kinetics of the catalytic reforming of gasoline

Аннотация

The main routes of catalytic gasoline reforming are considered. A kinetic model is chosen, substantiated, and modified to adequately describe the most important chemical reactions occurring in the process. The kinetic model is used to construct a mathematical model taking into account the nonisothermal character of the process. To reconcile calculated data with the corresponding industrial data, kinetic parameters (activation energies of reactions and preexponential factors of the Arrhenius equation) have been corrected for basic reactions of the process and have been redetermined for some ones. Process stages and concentration profiles of groups of reactants have been analyzed. Foundations have been laid for modeling of the entire chemical technological system of the catalytic reforming process.
