The issue of water-chlorine balance
Thread Content
In a new catalytic reforming unit, the catalyst is dehydrated both in the reduction section and in the regenerator; the temperature in these areas exceeds 500 degrees. How can water exist under such conditions? Won’t this affect the water-chlorine balance? What is the water content after dehydration? There is another question: what is the difference between chlorine adsorption and the reaction of chlorine injection?
Water on the catalyst, the balance between Al-O-H and Al-O-Al
Water exists in the form of water vapor; it removes chlorine from the catalyst and also reduces its surface area. The amount of water after dehydration can be determined through analytical testing
The water removed at high temperature is the water contained within the catalyst carrier itself
