Catalysts of the catalytic cracking process and development of a fourteen-component kinetic model

Abstract

The catalytic cracking process is specific and depends on several technological factors such as temperature, pressure, type of catalyst and reactor, and contact time. This article presents a review of foreign industrial zeolite-containing catalysts RDM SWM, and Russian microspherical catalyst “Oktifayn”, granular cracking catalysts “adamant”. On the basis of experimental and production data it is possible to conduct mathematical modeling of catalytic cracking process, and to select constants of rates of chemical transformations for each of types of catalysts.
