Abstract
Hydrogenation has been studied of ethylene and butene in a circulation flow reactor on a cobalt-molybdenum catalyst at 360 °C and atmospheric pressure. The effect has been investigated of simultaneous hydrodesulphurization of thiophene on the hydrogenation. The results have confirmed that different active sites for hydrogenation and hydrodesulphurization must be considered in the kinetic description of simultaneous hydrogenation of ethylene and hydrodesulphurization of thiophene. For isolated hydrogenation of ethylene and butene the absence of hydrogen sulphide in the reaction mixture considerably enhances the hydrogenation activity of the catalyst due to the change of its state.
