Crossed reaction networks in the catalytic hydrodenitrogenation of synthetic liquid fuels. Quarterly report, February 1, 1982-April 30, 1982

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5324631
Progress reports are presented for the following studies: effect of hydrogen sulfide on quinoline hydrodenitrogenation; (HDN) effect of hydrogen donor liquid on quinoline HDN; and effect of oxygenated compounds on quinoline HDN. The highlights for this quarter are: (1) The results of detailed modeling of data obtained in the presence of H/sub 2/S have now been completed and are compared to studies in the absence of H/sub 2/S. Some hypotheses are advanced about the nature of the catalytically-active sites in the presence of H/sub 2/S. (2) Some problems with reactor plugging with a BzTHQ feed in the presence of CS/sub 2/ are believed to be caused by the formation of an imine as an intermediate that can readily form an imine trimer. (3) Studies with tetralin in the carrier liquid showed that it does not act as a hydrogen donor but instead inhibits the HDN reaction. Preliminary scouting studies with oxygenated compounds in the feed were made.
