| Abstract |
The inhibition of Brensted acid sites by nitrogen -containing molecules was quantified under industrially relevant hydrocracking conditions. This was achieved by testing bifunctional catalysts based on HUSY zeolite in cyclohexane hydroconversion. For ammonia partial pressures within 0.2-2.8 kPa, the percentage of inhibited Brensted sites was superior to 98\% at 623 K. Significant reduction in the ammonia content caused rather moderate variations on the number of available sites. Conversely, a temperature raise from 600 to 640K triplicated the vacant Brensted sites due to the significant endothermicity of ammonia desorption. The inhibiting effect of ammonia can be therefore easily modulated by temperature. (C) 2018 The Korean Society of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry. Published by Elsevier B.V.
