Abstract
The vapor-phase hydrogenation of pyridine was investigated in an integral flow reactor over NiW Al 2O 3 catalyst. The effects of various parameters, viz., temperature, initial partial pressures of the reactants, and reciprocal of space velocity, were studied. The kinetics of the hydrogenation of pyridine to form piperidine have been investigated. A rate equation for pyridine hydrogenation was derived. The activation energy was found to be 13.69 kcal/mole. A plausible mechanism has been discussed.
