Kinetic Model of Hydrogenation for Removal of Trace Olefins from Alkylation Mixture Formed during Linear Alkylbenzene Synthesis

摘要

Through the hydrogenation experiments for removal of olefin impurities in effluent mixture obtained from alkylation reactor for linear alkylbenzene synthesis, the reaction kinetics was studied. The experimental results showed that the catalytic activity of Pd/Al2 O3 among four kinds of catalysts was the highest, and the olefin conversion reached 100%when the reaction temperature was higher than 140 ℃. The kinetic model was established through parameters estimation.The experimental validation of the kinetic model showed that the kinetic model had higher simulation accuracy. The results of prediction by the kinetic model indicated that with the intensification of reaction conditions, the olefin conversion would increase and the bromine index of the linear alkyl benzene would decrease. Under the conditions covering a WHSV of 2.0 h^(-1),a temperature of 90 ℃, and a hydrogen partial pressure of 1.5 MPa, the olefin conversion was 99.67%, and the bromine index of the linear alkyl benzene could be reduced to less than 20.00 mgBr/(100 g).
