Suppression of addition reactions of asphaltene model compound during hydrogenation with sulfided iron catalyst
DownloadFall 2013
A model compound is used to probe the chemical and physical behaviors of asphaltene. Hydrogenation reactions were conducted in a batch microreactor at 430℃, 13.9 MPa H2 for 30 min using a solution of 1,3,6,8-tetrahexylpyrene in tetralin. Sulfided iron was prepared on α-alumina, γ-alumina and...
