CATALYTIC CRACKING OF METHYLCYCLOHEXANE OVER SILICA ALUMINA CATALYST IN GAS FLUIDIZED BED

抄録

This paper presents a simulation model to predict the reaction performance of a fluidized bed from the operating conditions. The simulation model was derived from the observation of bubble behavior, and was developed in a form which can elucidate the conversion and selectivity with catalyst fouling. The model was applied to methylcyclohexane cracking data, and unknown parameters in the model were estimated by a non-linear regression technique. It was confirmed that the model is applicable to the performance of a fiuidized bed reactor.
