Sensitivity Study of the Propane Dehydrogenation Process in an Industrial Radial Moving Bed Reactor

Modelling and simulation of the propane dehydrogenation reaction is important for predicting an optimum operating condition to maximise the propylene yield. The present study performed the modelling and simulation study of propane dehydrogenation over a platinum based catalyst in radial moving bed r...
