Abstract
AbstractOceanic polymetallic nodules could be used as a catalyst and an absorbent for hydrotreatment of petroleum residua in a trickle bed reactor because of their particular composition and porous texture. A kinetic study of this reaction has been undertaken in a micro‐pilot unit using operating conditions similar to those encountered in industrial reactors. Sulphur content, distillation characteristics and viscosity of the outlet liquid product were investigated. The effect of the main operating parameters (pressure, temperature and mass flow rates) has been determined.
