Chemicals Influencing The Activity of Palladium-Based Catalysts For The Selective Hydrogenation Of Acetylene To Ethylene in Acetylene Converters

摘要

Operation of acetylene converters can provide particular challenges to ethylene producers. Reactor optimization efforts may be maximized through understanding the chemicals influencing the performance of the catalyst specific to their plant and reactor configuration. In this session, chemicals that influence the short-term and long-term activity of palladium-based acetylene reactor catalysts will be discussed. The fundamental chemistry involved in the selective hydrogenation of acetylene in the presence of ethylene will also be addressed.
