STUDY OF THE INTENSIFICATION OF THE DEAPHALTIZATION AND CATALYTIC CRACKING PROCESSES IN A MAGNETIC FIELD

Abstract

The deasphalting process of the vacuum residue has been studied in the magnetic field in order to odtain the suitable DAO for mixing with the vacuum gas oil for the subsequent catalytic cracking process conducted in a constant magnetic field. The probable mechanism of action of a magnetic field on the de-asphalting process has been studied. The study examined the catalytic cracking of a mixture of vacuum gas oil and tar deasphalted oil products in the presence of a magnetic field, and found that the findings could serve as a foundation for producing high-quality gasolines with high octane ratings. The quality of the deasphalted oil obtained was found to be impacted by a range of factors, including the process temperature, settling time, and solvent-to-raw material ratio. Taking these variables into account, the study evaluated the effect of magnetic treatment on the raw materials during the deasphalting process, and identified the optimal conditions for achieving the desired results. The researchers also explored the impact of magnetic treatment on the settling time and discovered that it accelerated the settling process. In addition, the explanation of the mechanism of action of a costant magnetic field on the process of catalytic cracking in terms of singlet-triplet state of ions and radicals has been given. Keywords: deasphaltization, catalytic cracking, deasphaltization temperature, magnetic treatment of raw materials, asphalt-resin substances.
