Abstract
A mathematical model equation for the binary adsorption−reaction process is developed and illustrated for the catalytic dehydrogenation of cyclohexane to benzene on platinum−rhenium/alumina catalyst with unadsorbed hydrogen in the inert (argon, helium) and active (hydrogen) carrier gases using pulse and continuous flow techniques. The optimization routine of the Nelder−Mead simplex algorithm is developed with a view toward estimating the surface reaction rate and adsorption equilibrium constants at different temperatures, which, in turn, are used to determine the activation energies and adsorption equilibrium energies for cyclohexane dehydrogenation in inert and active carrier gases using pulse and continuous flow techniques.
