Abstract
In the present study, a mathematical model of the isobutane dehydrogenation process for a laboratory reactor with a diameter of 2.8 cm and a height of 70 cm was created using CFD methods. A two-fluid model was selected as a model for the fluidization simulation, when the gas and solid granular phases were considered as continuous. The model of chemical kinetics considers three reactions that make the main contribution to the products mass fraction at the reactor outlet: the reaction of catalytic dehydrogenation of isobutane to isobutylene, the reaction of thermal cracking of isobutylene with the formation of methane and propylene, and the reaction of catalytic hydrogenation of propylene. The model was verified in a series of experimental studies. Experimental studies and numerical simulations were carried out for the process parameters: gas velocity 0.008, 0.012 and 0.016 m/s, gas temperature 550, 575, 600 and 625 °C, and catalyst mass 75, 100 and 125 g. The optimal process temperature was 575 °C, where the yield of isobutylene averaged 47.6% of the mass. As the temperature decreased, the yield of isobutylene decreased to 40.1% by weight on average. With an increase in temperature, the yield of isobutylene increased to 52.8% by weight on average, and the total yield of products of side reactions increased to 20% by weight on average. Changes in the gas velocity and catalyst mass had an insignificant effect on the values of the yield of isobutylene, but significantly affected the values of the yield of the by-products.
