AI Technical Summary
Existing aromatic catalytic hydrogenation dealkylation catalysts suffer from problems such as uneven hydrogen-to-hydrogen ratio in the catalyst bed, increased reaction temperature, and poor operational safety of the equipment and heat exchangers, which affect the conversion rate of aromatics and the selectivity of benzene.
A composite metal-modified alumina catalyst, containing alumina, Cr, Co, Ni, Rh and metal elements such as La, Ce, and Re, is used. By using a segmented hydrogen feed and reactor outlet cooling method, the catalyst composition and reaction process are optimized, the reaction temperature rise is reduced, and the reaction uniformity is improved.
It significantly reduces reaction temperature rise, improves aromatic conversion and benzene selectivity, enhances the operational safety of the unit and heat exchanger, and solves the problem of uneven hydrogen-to-hydrogen ratio in the catalyst bed.
