Previously, we developed a simple, one-parameter model reproducing the observed inhibiting effect of nitrogen species in the hydrodesulfurization (HDS) of hindered sulfur heterocycles. The model owes its simplicity to some nontrivial assumptions. Here we develop a full model by relaxing these assumptions, which gives a more quantitative picture of how sulfur, nitrogen, and catalyst surface interact on many widely disparate time scales. Computational results build a strong case for the accuracy of the previous one-parameter theory. As such, the theory should be applicable to reaction systems in which catalyst poisoning is driven by nonequilibrium adsorption. Some of the complexities and subtleties in modeling the competitive adsorption effects in distillate HDS are discussed, giving special attention to the design of robust catalyst-deactivation-compensation operating strategies. 相似文献
The oxygen storage capacity of a 56,000 mile aged warmup and underfloor converter system was characterized as a function of axial location along the converters and compared with fresh samples having the same formulation. Measurements of oxygen storage were made using a titration technique and at conditions expected to be commonly encountered during OBD-II diagnosis of catalyst performance. Vehicle aging resulted in a dramatic loss of oxygen storage in the warmup converter presumably due to the severe thermal sintering, but the significant amount of phosphorus (P) and zinc (Zn) poison accumulation on this converter was found to impact oxygen storage minimally. This is in contrast to the measured impact of P and Zn deposition on warmed-up hydrocarbon conversion, which was found to be significant relative to the impact of thermal sintering. The underfloor converter was found to have retained nearly all of its original oxygen storage after vehicle aging, consistent with operation of this converter at moderate temperatures which do no result in severe thermal sintering of the noble metals and the ceria.
The impact of sulfur on the oxygen storage of both warmup and underfloor converter sections was dramatic. Sections in the forward part of the warmup converter and in the front brick of the underfloor converter had relatively modest oxygen storage capacity which was almost completely blocked as the sulfur concentration reached 75–150 ppm (equivalent in gasoline). Other sections such as the rear of the warmup converter and the rear monolith of the underfloor converter had more oxygen storage capacity, which was significantly decreased as the sulfur concentration reached 150 ppm equivalent in fuel, and was approached complete loss near 500 ppm sulfur equivalent in fuel. 相似文献
The organic dyes directly pollute the soil, water, plants and all living systems in the environment. The dyes like cationic Methylene blue (MB) and Crystal violet (CV) adsorption has been studied on Tomato Plant Root powder (TPR) and green carbon from aqueous solution for identifying the plant poisoning nature of cationic dyes. TPR powder is a cellulose material and green carbon is prepared from TPR powder by an ecofriendly method. The dyes adsorption mechanism on basic surface of cellulose and neutral surface of green carbon are correlated to evaluate the plant poisoning nature of organic dyes. The adsorption parameters were optimized to maximum adsorption. The maximum uptake of both dyes on TPR was 97% at 15 min and on carbon is 18% (CV) & 20% (MB) at 30 min. The adsorptions of MB and CV on TPR powder followed Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption isotherms and pseudo second order kinetics. The ?So, ?Ho and ?Go of adsorption on TPR are calculated. The dyes recovery has been studied from dyes adsorbed TPR and green carbon. The adsorption mechanism and dye recovery studies proved the plant poisoning nature of MB and CV. 相似文献
