U. Raychaudhuri et al., KINETICS OF CATALYTIC HYDRODENITROGENATION OF DILUTE SOLUTIONS OF NORTH GUJARAT CRUDE-OIL, Fuel science & technology international, 14(3), 1996, pp. 347-364
Hydrodenitrogenation of dilute solutions of North Gujarat Crude oil (a
n Indian Crude) has been carried out in a packed bed flow reactor. The
reactions have been studied at a temperature range of 573K-723K and p
ressure 5.8 - 10.2 Mpa over commercial hydrotreating catalyst. From th
e analysis it was found denitrogenation rate is first order with nitro
gen concentration and the total pressure of system.
