Thiophene conversion in the BIMF process
Catalytic conversion of an oil distillate with the added extra amounts of thiophene over a zeolite catalyst was studied. The rate of the catalyst deactivation was found to increase with the increase in the thiophene concentration in the feed. A possible pathway of thiophene conversion is discussed.
