Abstract

AbstractThe catalyst decay theory of Wojciechowski is applied to a simplified mechanism of catalytic gas oil cracking. The resulting patterns of selectivity predicted for a static bed reactor are presented in detail and general conclusions are drawn. It is shown that selectivity in gas oil cracking is bounded by optimum and minimum performance envelopes which confine the range of possible product distributions. For the simple cases considered, moving and fluidized bed reactors show selectivity patterns which invariably fall on the optimum performance envelope.
