Notes:
An experimental and modeling study of the dynamic behavior of an individual catalyst pellet as influenced by deactivation and dilution has been made. The reaction system employed was benzene hydrogenation over nickel/kieselguhr catalyst pellets diluted with 10% graphite, 10% silica, or undiluted; thiophene was employed as the catalyst poison.A one-dimensional effective transport model was developed, and the parameters for this model were determined principally from separate off line experiments or steady state experimental information. The adequacy of the model was determined from a direct comparison of the experimental and computed time-temperature profiles.
