Abstract
The hydroconversion of heavy alkylate is carried out using catalysts containing mordenite: HM (10), HM (20), HM (40), HM (60), pt/HM (10), pt/HM (20), pt/HM (40), Cu/HM (40), Mo/HM(40) and Cr/HM(40). A kinetic model was developed for heavy alkylate hydroconversion over these catalysts. Hydroconversion rates were temperature sensitive in the range of 673 K-748 K, energies of activation and effectiveness diffussive parameters were calculated.
