Hydrodeni trogenation

The increasing importance of hydrotreating in oil refining is contrasted to the limited body of knowledge of its kinetics, especially of hydrodeni-trogenation (4, 95). Knowledge of the kinetics of a reaction is important for process operations. It may also yield information about the nature and density of catalytic sites, facilitating the interpretation of the influence of reaction conditions, the reaction mechanism, the properties of the catalyst, and its preparation.
