G. Bozga et al., KINETIC-PARAMETERS ESTIMATION FOR CATALYT IC PROCESSES INVOLVING DEACTIVATION - APPLICATION IN M-XYLENE ISOMERIZATION, Revista de chimie, 45(11), 1994, pp. 951-959
An estimation procedure for kinetic parameters of deactivating catalyt
ic processes is presented. The procedure is applicable to kinetic stud
ies where experimental data are obtained on fixed bed reactors. It con
sists in two steps, a rough estimation by a differential method, follo
wed by a better estimation, using an integral method. The presentation
is particularized for the process of m-xylene isomerization on a zeol
ite catalyst.
