Mathematical Simulation of the Hydrogenation of Borodino Coal

Abstract

The kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of the hydrogenation of Borodino brown coal were calculated. With the use of equilibrium-kinetic analysis, the second-order reaction rate constants of forward and reverse reactions, the equilibrium constant, the activation energy, and the thermal effects of brown coal hydrogenation reactions were determined in a temperature range of 648–698 K at a hydrogen pressure of 10 MPa. In the course of the study, it was found that the experimental data are indicative of the adequacy of the equilibrium-kinetic analysis model for second-order reactions.
