Plastic waste production and consumption is increasing at an alarming rate with the increase of human population, rapid economic growth, continuous urbanization, changes in lifestyle. In addition, short life span plastic accelerates on a daily basis. recycling carried out different ways, but most developing countries, open or landfill disposal common practice for management. into feedstocks, al...

• A hybrid machine learning strategy is developed for complex chemical processes. Continuum lumping kinetic embedded into the neural network framework. NSGA-II used multi-objective optimisation of hydrocracking process. Catalytic processes such as hydrocracking, gasification and pyrolysis play a vital role in renewable energy net zero transition. Due to non-linear behaviours during operation, c...

In hydrocracking and other foaming reactors, the foam rises to the top because it has a higher gas fraction than the bubbly mixture from which it comes. The high gas hold-up in foams is undesirable in chemical reactors because it strongly decreases the liquid residence time and in hydrocracking reactors also promotes the formation of coke. To study foams we built a cold slit bubble reactor whic...

Petroleum heavy vacuum gas oil (HVGO) containing 10 wt.% of petroleum wax was hydrocracked at 390–430 °C and under the pressure 18 MPa over a Ni W/amorphous silica-alumina catalyst in continuous-flow fixed-bed reactor. The hydrocracking reference feed (neat HVGO) carried out same reaction conditions. physico-chemical properties primary products obtained via laboratory atmospheric-vacuum distill...
