Modeling and simulation of hydrodemetallation and hydrodesulfurization processes with transient catalytic efficiency

A model is presented for the description of the concentration behavior of organometallic and sulfurated compounds in hydrodemetallation and hydrodesulfurization catalytic processes, where catalyst effectiveness decreases with time. Due to the complexity of the mixture, an approach based on pseudocom...
