Kinetic and deactivation modelling of biphenyl liquid-phase hydrogenation over bimetallic Pt–Pd catalyst (original) (raw)

Kinetic and deactivation modelling of biphenyl liquid-phase hydrogenation was systematically explored using a bimetallic Pt-Pd catalyst. The research focused on addressing the challenges of aromatic deep hydrogenation in the context of environmental regulations on fuel quality. A robust kinetic model incorporating the effects of sulfur poisoning was developed based on intrinsic kinetic conditions, elucidating the mechanisms of adsorption, reaction, and deactivation pertinent to polycyclic-aromatic-hydrocarbons during hydrogenation.
