Abstract:
The kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of the hydrogenation of an anthracene–ben zothiophene model mixture were calculated. The rate constants of forward and reverse reactions, the equilib rium constant, the activation energies, and the heat effects of hydrogenation reactions were determined by equi librium kinetic analysis for secondorder reactions in a model mixture of anthracene and benzothiophene in the presence of an ironcontaining catalyst over a temperature range of 648–698 K at a pressure of 6 MPa.
