Modeling the deactivation behavior of Aluminum Oxide (Al₂O₃) and Titanium Oxide (TiO₂) catalysts in an industrial process. The process of interest is the recovery of elemental sulfur (S_x) from acid gas (H₂S) via catalytic and thermal conversion sections. The objective is to come up with a new modeling approach that combines Aspen HYSYS and MATLAB in sequential steps to accurately predict catalyst activity, lifetime, and temperature rise across the catalytic converters.
