The analysis showed that MoS2 structure was dependant upon the preparation procedure. The activity of the catalysts was determined by measuring the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of phenol, 4-methylphenol and 4-methoxyphenol using a batch autoclave reactor operated at 2.8 MPa of hydrogen and temperatures ranging from 320-370℃. By comparing the conversion, the reactivity order of the catalysts was: AHM〉TDM-D〉MoNaph〉thermal〉MoS2 powder〉 TDM-W. Also, the effect of reaction temperature on the HDO conversion was explained in terms of equilibrium of reversible reaction kinetics. The main products of the HDO for phenolic compounds were identified by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The results showed that the product distribution and the HDO selectivity were correlated with the reaction temperature. Two parallel reaction routes, direct hydrogenolysis and combined hydrogenation-hydrogenolysis, were confirmed by the analysis of the product distribution. High temperature favored hydrogenolysis over hydrogenation for HDO of phenol and 4-methoxyphenol, whereas for 4-methylphenol the reverse was true.展开更多

Multi-tubular fixed-bed reactor used for ODHP process, employing 10000 of small diameter tubes immersed in a shell through a proper coolant flows. Herein, a theory-based pseudo-homogeneous model to describe the operation of a fixed bed reactor for the ODHP to correspondence olefln over V2O5/γ-Al203 catalyst was presented. Steady state one dimensional model has been developed to identify the operation parameters and to describe the propane and oxygen conversions, gas process and coolant temperatures, as well as other pa- rameters affecting the reactor performance such as pressure. Furthermore, the applied model showed that a double-bed multitubular reactor with intermediate air injection scheme was superior to a single-bed design due to the increasing of propylene selectivity while operating under lower oxygen partial pressures resulting in propane conversion of about 37.3%. The optimized length of the reactor needed to reach 100% conversion of the oxygen was theoretically determined. For the single-bed reactor the optimized length of 11.96 m including 0.5 m of inert section at the entrance region and for the double-bed reactor design the optimized lengths of 5.72 m for the first and 7.32 m for the second reactor were calculated. Ultimately, the use of a distributed oxygen feed with limited number of injection points indicated a significant improvement on the reactor performance in terms of propane conversion and propylene selectivity. Besides, this concept could overcome the reactor run- away temperature problem and enabled operations at the wider range of conditions to obtain enhanced propyl- ene production in an industrial scale reactor.展开更多

The established ANN model covered 4 input variables, 1 output variable and 1 hidden layer with 15 neurons. The comparison between the results of two models was listed. The results showed that the predicted mean relative errors of the two models with three different sample data were less than 5% and both the two models had good predictive precision and extrapolative feature for the HDS process. The mean relative error of 5 sets of testing data of the ANN model was 1.62%—3.23%, all of which were smaller than that of the common mechanism model (3.47%— 4.13%). It showed that the ANN model was better than the mechanism model both in terms of fitting results and fitting difficulty. The models could be easily applied in practice and could also provide a reference for the further research of residual oil HDS process.展开更多

Since ethane dehydrogenation is an equilibrium reaction,removal of produced hydrogen by the membrane shifts the thermodynamic equilibrium to ethylene production.For further displacement of the dehydrogenation reaction, oxidative dehydrogenation method has been used.Since ethane dehydrogenation is an endothermic reaction, the energy produced by the oxidative dehydrogenation method is consumed by the dehydrogenation reaction. The results show that the oxidative dehydrogenation method generated a substantial improvement in the reactor performance in terms of high conversions and signi ficant energy saving. It was also established that the sweep gas velocity in the shell side of the reactor is one of the most important factors in the effectiveness of the reactor.展开更多
