Effects of Catalyst Activity Profiles on the Operating Conditions of an Industrial Polymerization Reactor
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this paper is to analyze how different catalyst activity profiles influence the operating strategies of industrial reactors. Based on this analysis a method that can be used to transform information given by laboratory reactor experiments into a form which can be used to estimate the productivity of the catalyst and the quality properties of polymers under industrial conditions is proposed. The whole approach is demonstrated in case of the production of high-density polyethylene production.

Determination of the Deactivation Model of Iron-potassium/γ-Al2O3 Catalyst in a Fixed Bed Reactor
Catalyst activity and performance are the most important factors for selecting a catalyst in different processes. The Fischer-Tropsch synthesis is a very important synthesis that extensive action has been taken place to increase the activity of its catalysts in the recent century. Deactivation of the catalysts of the process is influenced by many factors, among which coking and sintering have c...
متن کاملToward the Development of a Robust Kinetic Model for the Cobalt Fischer-Tropsch Catalyst Lifetime Using a Novel Sigmoidal Pattern
Although catalyst deactivation rate greatly varies depending on many factors, including the catalyst structure, reactor feed composition, and operating conditions; it is usually inevitable. Since catalyst deactivation modeling has so far been poorly addressed in the literature, in the present study, nine experimental sets of cobalt based Fischer-Tropsch catalysts activity-time data were conside...

Manganese oxide catalyst promoted with sodium and supported on silica exhibits fairly good activity and selectivity towards the synthesis of ethylene from methane at the optimum operating conditions. Methane and oxygen were fed into a tubular fixed bed reactor packed with catalyst under atmospheric pressure. The effects of temperature, residence time and feed composition on conversion, selectiv...

DEB dehydrogenation reaction was conducted to produce divinylbenzene (DVB) and ethylvinylbenzene (EVB). The effects of temperature, catalyst weight and time factor on the performance of the dehydrogenation reactor were investigated experimentally. Temperature was varied from 550º C up to 600 º C. Temperature affect the conversion of DEB to DVB significantly. The mole fraction of DEB in the outl...

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of catalyst doping on the performance of MgCl2. EtOH/TiCl4 catalyst system. In this regard, a series of undoped as well as FeCl3-doped catalysts was prepared and employed in 1-hexene polymerization. A modified catalyst containing 10 wt. % of FeCl3 dopant demonstrated the highest activity, with 32% activity increase compared to unmodified one, amon...
