Abstract
The article presents the results of the investigation of catalytic cracking process of crude oil in a distillation column, under atmospheric pressure, the active component of the catalyst being type Y zeolite. The process was carried out under the conditions of a new technology, called “aerosol nanocatalysis.” A schematic diagram of the laboratory installation is described and comparison of the experimental data with thermal cracking processes is made, and the expected technical and economic indicators of the new and existing industrial technologies are compared. It is shown that the use of zeolite-containing catalyst (type Y) leads to increased yield of light oil products by 48–85% by weight compared to thermal cracking. The technology of aerosol nanocatalysis is promising as it is energy and resource-saving process.
Highlights
The oil refining industry today is of great economic and strategic importance in the world
The aim of the study is to carry out catalytic cracking of fuel oil under the conditions of aerosol nanocatalysis, whose main active component is zeolite type Y, and to evaluate the influence of the main technological parameters of this new technology of aerosol nanocatalysis—on the reaction rate and product yield
It has been proved that catalytic cracking of fuel oil on a zeolite-containing catalyst
Summary
The oil refining industry today is of great economic and strategic importance in the world. Every year the need for motor fuels and lubricants increases. In the process of oil refining a large amount of fuel oil appears—more than 50% by weight when the atmospheric oil distillation column operates. Qualified processing of fuel oil is an important scientific and practical task. There are many secondary processes for increasing the depth of oil refining. Catalytic cracking is carried out in a lift reactor, using microsphere zeolite-containing catalysts
