Abstract
AbstractThe vapour phase hydrogenation of pyridine was investigated in an integral flow reactor at a pressure of 5.62 MPa over an alumina‐supported cobalt‐molybdate catalyst. The effect of various process variables, viz. temperature, reactant ratio and space time, on the conversion of pyridine was studied. The kinetics of the hydrogenation of pyridine to form piperidine have been investigated. The reaction showed pseudo‐second order behaviour and the order of the reaction rate in the initial pyridine concentration was found to vary with temperature.
