The purpose of this investigation was to study the kinetics of the hydrogenation of acetophenone on KGA-43 catalyst, to establish a kinetic model for it, and to test the adequacy of the kinetic model for experiment. The kinetic studies of the hydrogenation of acetophenone on the new KGA-43 catalyst were conducted on a laboratory unit. Using the theory of steady-state reactions a kinetic model incorporating 10 unknown parameters was constructed. To determine the point estimates of the kinetic constants they used the method of maximum probability. The results of five repeated experiments were used to calculate the elements of a dispersion-covariation matrix of the reproducibility of the observations.
