Abstract
Coking rates and characteristics of n-hexane cracking reaction on HZSM-5 have been studied on an electrobalance. The possibility of ethylene and/or propylene as a coke precursor and 1,3-hexadiene as an intermediate to coke has been probed by adding small quantities of these olefins to n-hexane. The product distribution has been analyzed in the light of ethylene, propylene, and/or butenes being the coke precursor. From the analysis of the data, it appears that propylene rather than ethylene will accelerate coke formation while 1,3-hexadiene may be an intermediate.
