Precise recognition of catalyst deactivation during acetylene hydrogenation studied with the advanced TEMKIN reactor

• C6 hydrocarbons were identified as an important indicator for deactivation behaviour.
• Acetylene hydrogenation on Pd–Ag/Al2O3 egg-shell catalysts
• Forecast of differences in deactivation behaviour over 100 h time-on-stream

C6 hydrocarbons were identified as an important indicator for deactivation behaviour in acetylene hydrogenation on Pd–Ag/Al2O3 egg-shell catalysts. Thereby significant differences between highly developed catalysts can be identified, helping to forecast differences in deactivation behaviour over 100 h time-on-stream in a short and cheap catalytic test.
