Abstract
A mathematical model equation for 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 inert (argon, he lium) and active (hydrogen) carrier gases using pulse and continuous flow techniques. The optimization routine of Nelder-Mead simplex algorithm is developed with a view to estimating surface reaction rate and adsorption equilibrium constants at different temperatures, which in turn are used to determine activation energies and adsorption equilibrium energies for cyclohexane dehydrogenation in inert and active carrier gases using pulse and continuous flow techniques.
