| Abstract: | Liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) technology has unique advantages in hydrogen storage and transportation. However, the lack of research on the continuous dehydrogenation process of LOHCs has hindered the design and application of industrial dehydrogenation processes. In this work, a highly active dehydrogenation catalyst 1.5 wt% Pd/activated carbon (Pd/C) and a commercial catalyst 5 wt% Pd/Al2O3 were used for the continuous dehydrogenation of dodecahydro‐N‐ethylcarbazole (12H‐NEC). Based on a tubular reactor and lab‐scale apparatus, 1.5 wt% Pd/C catalyst achieved a maximum dehydrogenation conversion of 98.3% and a maximum NEC selectivity of 95.3%, while dehydrogenation conversion and NEC selectivity with 5 wt% Pd/Al2O3 were 98.3% and 97.6%, respectively. It showed the equally excellent performance between Pd/C and Pd/Al2O3, and the former has less Pd loading than the latter, with the potential of reducing the production cost of the dehydrogenation catalyst. The dehydrogenation results also indicated the difference in catalytic performance between the two kinds of catalysts. The obtained kinetics data were analyzed, and the dynamics of continuous dehydrogenation were studied to provide fundamental information for dehydrogenation scale‐up. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
