    Pt-Pd-F/AI203catalyst applied in the HDT process.
    (Univesidsad Tecnológica Nacional., 2015) Balangero, Gerardo Simón; Falcón , Horacio; Beltramone , Andrea Raquel
    The inhibiting effect of basic and non-basic nitrogen compounds on the hydrogenation of polyaromatic compounds and on the hydrodesulphurization (HDS) of dibenzothiophene (DBT) and 4,6-dimethyl dibenzothiophene (4,6DMDBT), has been investigated on Pt-Pd-F/Al2O3 and compared with a commercial NiMo hydrotreating catalyst. Langmuir-Hinshelwood type rate equations were used to describe the reaction kinetics accurately with physically meaningful and well identified parameter values. Model parameters were tuned by fitting experimental data obtained in a continuous flow reactor at 345°C, 1000 psi pressure and different contact times. Pt-Pd-F/Al2O3 was more active than NiMo catalyst and conversion remained constant during 24 h of TOS. The model was able to correctly interpret all the experimental data. Parameter estimation results showed that phenanthrene and naphthalene inhibited the tetralin hydrogenation rate, whereas naphthalene and tetralin had no appreciable effect on the rate of phenanthrene conversion. This inhibition could be explained by the competitive adsorption and was described in the kinetic model by adsorption terms obtained from the multicomponent experiments. The inhibiting effect of different nitrogen compounds on the polyaromatic hydrogenation was determined. The following nitrogen compounds were investigated in this study: quinoline, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline, indole, and indoline. The degree of inhibition was expressed in terms of an apparent adsorption constant derived from the kinetics.The inhibiting effect on the HDS of DBT and 4,6 DBT followed the same trend

    Vanadium and titanium oxide supported on mesoporous CMK-3 as new catalysts for oxidative desulfurization.
    (Univesidsad Tecnológica Nacional., 2016) Rivoira , Lorena Paola; Juárez , Juliana María; Falcón , Horacio; Gómez Costa , Marcos Bruno; Anunziata , Oscar Alfredo; Beltramone, Andrea Raquel; Anunziata , Oscar Alfredo; Juárez , Juliana María
    Vanadium supported-CMK-3 catalysts with vanadium loading of 1–7 wt.% were studied in the oxidative desulfurization (ODS) of dibenzothiophene as a model sulfur compound. The activity was compared with titanium supported-CMK-3. Structural and textural characterization of the catalysts was performed by means of N2 adsorption, XRD, UV–vis–DRS, Raman spectroscopy, XPS, TEM and TPR. The dispersion and the nature of the vanadium species depend on the V loading, so does the catalyst activity. Vanadium supported-CMK-3 with 7 wt.% of vanadium loading was the most active catalyst for ODS of DBT using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as oxidant and acetonitrile as solvent. 100% of DBT elimination was attained at short time in mild conditions. Carbon ordered mesoporous CMK-3 with high surface area and high pore volume promotes a very good anchorage of metallic oxides in the carbons framework reaching high active sites distribution and more stable nanoclusters. The reusability of the catalyst indicates that V-CMK-3 is a potential catalyst for the ODS of dibenzothiophene
