Abstract
Results of the hydrogenation process of isoprene and piperylene mixtures, as well as their mixtures on multicomponent skeletal nickel catalysts are reported in this article. Hydrogenation of piperylene and isoprene proceeds at a higher rate (W=215-220 cm3/min·g Ni) on Ni-Mo-Cu alloy catalyst than on skeletal nickel (W=112-115 cm3/min·g Ni). The results of chromatographic analysis indicate that the hydrogenation of piperylene proceeds with high selectivity. The selectivity coefficient Кs is 0.95 and 0.98 on skeletal nickel and Ni-Mo-Cu catalyst, respectively. At hydrogenation of the piperylene-isoprene mixture the piperylene conversion rate (P > J) is prevailed. At piperylene conversion degree P=50 % the isoprene J conversion is 35-37 % on Renea Nickel. 34 % on Ni-Mo-Cu catalyst. The selectivity degree of hydrogenation of this mixture is Sp-i = 0.34-0.36 on Renea Nickel, Sp-i = 0.40 on Ni-Mo-Cu. It was found that during hydrogenation of piperylene and isoprene mixtures on Ni-Al-Mo-Cu (42-50-3-5 %) catalysts the mono- and disubstituted acetylenes are saturated with a high degree of conversion compared with isoprene.
