  2. 1. Fluid Catalytic Cracking Catalyst Demetallization and Reactivation, Modeling of Catalytic Cracking, and Use of Microwaves to Heat Fluid Beds

    Author : Frank J. Elvin; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; pilot plant; nickel and vanadium deposition; catalyst; reactivation; demetallization; catalytic cracking; and microwave heating; MAT; fluid bed;

    Abstract : The fluid catalytic cracking unit (FCCU), the major conversion unit in an oil refinery, uses a silica-alumina zeolite catalyst to convert heavy hydrocarbons to light hydrocarbons. A small fraction of the catalyst must be continually replaced with fresh catalyst to maintain activity. READ MORE

    Abstract : Development of renewable energy carriers and green adsorbents is an essential step in creating a fossil-free and toxin-free future of the world. Lignin is the second highest component of biomass and the only renewable resource of aromatics in nature. READ MORE

  7. 5. Steam Cracking of Polyolefins in Fluidized Bed Systems: Influences of the Bed Materials on the Hydrogen Transfer Reactions

    Author : Chahat Mandviwala; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Polyolefins; Plastic waste; Steam Cracking; Hydrogen Transfer; Dual Fluidized Bed;

    Abstract : Plastic materials are crucial to the supply of everyday necessities, such as clothes, packaging, and building materials. Most plastic materials are disposed of after a short period of use due to their low cost of production. The linear use of plastics has resulted in high levels of plastic waste materials. READ MORE
