On the Products from the Pyrolysis of Heavy Fuel and Vacuum Residue Oil

Interactions in co-pyrolysis of Salicornia bigelovii and heavy fuel oil

“…This was also observed during the pyrolysis of HFO at 400 and 500 °C. 74 The main reactions observed during HFO were cracking of non-condensed rings leading to the signicant formation of monocyclic aromatics and thiophene derivatives. Also, reactions such as homolytic bond ssion and hydrogen abstraction creating radicals that then undergo b-scission producing unsaturated hydrocarbons or radical addition to generate long chain radicals and nally radical termination via recombination creating longer chains occur.…”
