The main results of thermodynamic analysis and mathematical simulation of the deactivation of a platinum dehydrogenation catalyst by coke-generating compounds are presented. Developed model allows calculating the optimal flow rate of water fed to the reactor to maintain the conditions of thermodynamic equilibrium of the coke formation reaction and oxidation of intermediate condensation products with water. A comparative evaluation of different raw cycles of platinum-dehydrogenation catalysts is presented and shown to cause reduced production of the desired product was the change the composition of the feedstock.
