Reforming reaction of Methylcyclopentane (MCP) over the Pt/Al
2O
3/Cl type catalyst was investigated under the conditions normally encountered in industrial plants, such as reaction temperature; 450-520°C, total pressure; 10-44.5atm, Liquid Hourly Space Velocity; 5.99-23.23vol/vol•hr and ratio of H
2/MCP; 5-15mol/mol.
The following conclusions were obtained.
(1) The overall initial reaction rate [
v0(T)] increases remarkably with a rise of reaction temperatures.
v0(T), which increases with an increase in total pressure, shows the maximum value at the pressure of 20-30atm, and then decreases with an increase in total pressure.
(2) Methylcyclopentene (MCP
=) is a stable intermediate product, which is detected in the final products by a gaschromatographic analysis.
Cyclohexene (CH
=) formation is not expected, because CH
= is not detected by a gaschromatographic analysis and an equilibrium between MCP and CH
= is much in favor of MCP under the avove reaction conditions. So, it is hardly considered that CH
= is an intermediate product.
(3) The reaction paths of MCP-reforming are estimated as follows;
Path I (Dehydro-Ring isomerization-Aromatization)
Path II (Ring opening)
