STUDIES IN DEALKYLATION - A STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF PROCESS VARIABLES

G S SARMA, M RAVINDRAM

Abstract


A central composite rotatable experimental design was constructed for a statistical study of the vapour phase dealkylation of xylene isomers over a nickel on silica gel catalyst. A second order response surface was generated and the effect of each variable on the system was studied with the help of ridge analysis within the range of experimentation. For all the three systems investigated the effects are compared.
