The Influence of Temperature and Catalyst Additives on Catalytic Cracking of a Heavy Fuel Oil

Wood Derived Fast Pyrolysis Bio-liquids as Co-feed in a Fluid Catalytic Cracking Pilot Plant: Effect of Hydrotreatment on Process Performance and Gasoline Quality

“…FCC units convert high-boiling petroleum fractions into lighter products, which are usually products of higher value, 5 such as gasoline and olefins. The influence of the reaction temperature 6 and the used catalyst 7 on the product spectrum and the deployable feeds make it a process with a high degree of tailorability. 8…”

“…FCC units convert high-boiling petroleum fractions into lighter products, which are usually products of higher value, 5 such as gasoline and olefins. The influence of the reaction temperature 6 and the used catalyst 7 on the product spectrum and the deployable feeds make it a process with a high degree of tailorability. 8 The co-feeding of biomass-derived oils 9,10 such as vegetable oils, 11 fatty acid methyl 12 ester (FAME), or pyrolysis oil from biomass 13−16 as well as the use of waste-derived pyrolysis oils 17,18 in FCC units has generated a lot of attention in the scientific search for possibilities to provide fuels with smaller carbon footprints.…”

Titanium-Doped Mesoporous Silica with High Hydrothermal Stability for Catalytic Cracking Performance of Heavy Oil

“…Recently, it is the case that acidic solid materials, such as molecular sieves [4][5][6][7][8] and mesoporous heteroatom molecular sieves [9,10], are widely used in the catalytic cracking of heavy oil. The abundant acid sites can effectively catalyze the breaking of the carbon chain of larger heavy oil molecules into light oil molecules and reduce the viscosity of oil products, thus, the improvement and modification of catalyst acidity in catalytic cracking reactions is a research hotspot in this field [11].…”

Beneficial use of ultrasound irradiation in synthesis of beta–clinoptilolite composite used in heavy oil upgrading process

“…1 Among all the thermochemical methods employed so far, such as thermal cracking, catalytic cracking, hydrocracking and catalytic pyrolysis, [2][3][4] catalytic cracking has been widely noticed in recent years due to the moderate operating conditions and controlled product distribution. [5][6][7] Zeolites are popular catalysts in oil processing and fuel production industries due to their crystalline aluminosilicate structure, acidity and shape selectivity. 8 However, preparation and regeneration costs have always been matter of concern in industrial scale.…”
