abstract

the catalytic cracking of a fuel oil over fluid catalytic cracking (fcc) catalyst has been investigated applying different additives. catalyst mixtures consisting of a equilibrium fcc catalyst (e-cat) blended with zsm-5, mcm-41 and mordenite additives were examined at the additive levels of 25 wt.%. the catalytic performance of the matrix was studied in a fixed bed micro-activity test unit (mat) at 600 ˚c and catalyst/oil ratio of 3.6. two types of zsm-5 with different si/al ratios were utilized. results indicate that the yield of light olefins significantly increased by operating hybrid catalysts in comparison with the base e-cat. the highest olefin yield of 61.46 wt.% in the gas phase products was achieved over e-cat/zsm-5 of low si/al ratio. the maximum propylene production was observed over mcm-41, besides applying mordenite as additive showed more propylene to ethylene ratio in products. butenes were also increased by use of all additives, whereas iso-butene shows the maximum yield over all e-cat/additives.

Production of Light Olefins through Gas Oil Cracking

Light olefins such as ethylene, propylene, and butylenes, are basic building blocks for petrochemicals. Further, these olefins are also useful for production of clean fuels such as alkylates – which have high octanes but no sulfur, olefins, and aromatics – or as octaneenhancers such as ethers. The conventional olefin production process is steam cracking of C2−C4 light paraffins from natural gas...
