Abstract
Cracking of Pyrolysis Fuel Oil (PFO) using a microwave plasma torch in liquid has developed a new process for production of valuable petrochemical hydrocarbons. Main parameters, including the power and flow rate of the carrier gases on the cracking operation were studied. The major products obtained were hydrogen and light C1, C2, C3, and C4 hydrocarbon compounds. Increasing of the power and gas flow improved the cracking of PFO, but, they were unable to change the selectivity of products. Optimal conditions were 850W for power and 5000sccm (ml/min) for flow rate and the production rate of C4 and H2 were 27.37sccm and 446.31sccm, respectively.
