Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) particles account for 40 to 45% of worldwide gasoline production. The hierarchical complex particle pore structure allows access of long-chain feedstock molecules into active catalyst domains where they are cracked into smaller, more valuable hydrocarbon products (for example, gasoline). In this process, metal deposition and intrusion is a major cause for irrevers...

H-Oil gas oils have a higher density and nitrogen content, consequently much lower reactivity than straight-run vacuum during fluid catalytic cracking (FCC). The conversion of observed in laboratory unit at constant operating conditions showed 20 wt.% rate hydrotreated oil. Thus, revamp commercial FCC units, the selection activity catalyst with coke selectivity is needed to provide stable troub...

The pozzolanic activity of the spent catalyst produced by fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) has been studied by various methods in recent years. However, no quick and easy method has been reported for this activity based on the associated studies. In this work, the pozzolanic activity of a spent catalyst was investigated by measuring its electrical conductivity in aqueous suspensions of pozzolan/c...

We used single-molecule fluorescence microscopy to study self-diffusion of a feedstock-like probe molecule with nanometer accuracy in the macropores of a micrometer-sized, real-life fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) particle. Movies of single fluorescent molecules allowed their movement through the pore network to be reconstructed. The observed tracks were classified into three different states by...

Establishing structure-activity relationships in complex, hierarchically structured nanomaterials, such as fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) catalysts, requires characterization with complementary, correlated analysis techniques. An integrated setup has been developed to perform transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and single-molecule fluorescence (SMF) microscopy on such nanostructured samples....

Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) is one of the major conversion technologies in the oil refinery industry. FCC currently produces the majority of the world's gasoline, as well as an important fraction of propylene for the polymer industry. In this critical review, we give an overview of the latest trends in this field of research. These trends include ways to make it possible to process either ve...

The controlling of exhaust gas from gasoline is crucial for atmospheric environment protection. Research Octane Number (RON) loss and restricted sulphur (S) content matter the quality gasoline. To obtain with high quality, paper proposes a novel data-driven optimization model integrating deep neural network (DNN) genetic algorithm (GA) to Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) process then optimize. be...

Oil refineries are responsible for 4–6% of global CO 2 emissions, and 20–35% these emissions released from the regenerator Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) units, which essential units conversion heavier petroleum residues (vacuum gas oil) into more valuable products. Chemical looping combustion (CLC) has been recently proposed to mitigate FCC with a lower energy penalty. However, detailed experi...

The aim of this study is to obtain a model that can simulate the performance of an industrial Fluidised Catalytic Cracking (FCC) unit in steady and dynamic state, and which will subsequently be used in studies of control and real time optimisation. In this paper, a dynamic model for a R2R type FCC unit is presented. The model includes the riser, the stripper/disengager, the regeneration system ...
