Desirable reactions with hydrogen production<br />
• Naphthenes isomerization<br />
– Desirable reaction because of the subsequent dehydrogenation of the<br />
alkylcyclohexane into an aromatic<br />
– Difficulty of ring rearrangement <strong>and</strong> high risk of ring opening (paraffin(<br />
formation)<br />
– At the selected operating conditions, theoretically low rate but<br />
subsequent dehydrogenation shifts the reaction towards the desired<br />
ed<br />
direction<br />
– Slightly endothermic<br />
– Easier reaction for higher carbon number<br />
