MODELING OF HYDROPROCESSING REACTIONS

Abstract
Langmuir-Hinshelwood-Hougen-Watson rate expressions are developed for the hydroprocessing of quinoline, naphthalene and dibenzothiophene based on batch reactor data at 350°C and at 500 psig. Based on competitive adsorption, the kinetics are extended to binary mixtures of quinoline/naphtha-lene and quinoline/dibenzothiophene. In doing so, the differences in hydrogenation and hydro-genolysis sites are taken into consideration. In all cases, the agreement between the predicted and experimental results are good
