three high-silica mordenite zeolites differing in sio440, ratio were prepared by direct synthesis without using any template. the products si02/a120, ratio is influenced by the starting gel composition. this ratio is increased upon ion-exchange with nh,cl and subsequent calcination to prepare protonic mordenite. the protonic mordenites with si02/a1203ra tios of 14.6,29.2 and 34.6 were character...

H-Oil gas oils have a higher density and nitrogen content, consequently much lower reactivity than straight-run vacuum during fluid catalytic cracking (FCC). The conversion of observed in laboratory unit at constant operating conditions showed 20 wt.% rate hydrotreated oil. Thus, revamp commercial FCC units, the selection activity catalyst with coke selectivity is needed to provide stable troub...

The kinetics of palm oil catalytic cracking over aluminum containing mesoporous silica Al-MCM-41 (5% Al) was investigated in a batch autoclave reactor at the temperatures range of 573 – 673 K. The catalyst was prepared by using sol-gel technique and has been characterized by nitrogen adsorption and x-ray diffraction methods. Surface area of 1276 m/g with average pore diameter of 2.54 nm and por...

Catalytic cracking of butene to propylene was carried out in a continuous-flow fixed-bed reactor over HZSM-5 catalysts modified by nickel and phosphorus. The structure and acidity of catalysts were measured by N2 adsorption, NH3-TPD and XPS. The results revealed that surface area and strong acid sites both decreased with increasing phosphorus loadings. The increment of phosphorus loadings reduc...

In this paper, a coordinated-distributed model predictive control (MPC) scheme is presented for large-scale discrete-time linear process systems. Coordinated-distributed MPC control aims at enhancing the performance of fully decentralized MPC controllers by achieving the plant-wide optimal operations. The ‘price-driven’ decomposition-coordination method is used to adjust the operations of the i...
