Lessening coke formation and boosting gasoline yield by incorporating scrap tire pyrolysis oil in the cracking conditions of an FCC unit
(Elsevier, 2020-11-15)
We have studied the effect of adding scrap tire pyrolysis oil (STPO) as feed or co-feed in the cracking of vacuum gasoil (VGO) using a commercial equilibrated catalyst. The cracking experiments were performed in a laboratory ...
Towards waste refinery: Co-feeding HDPE pyrolysis waxes with VGO into the catalytic cracking unit
(Elsevier Ltd., 2020-01-28)
The co-feeding of high-density polyethylene pyrolysis waxes (HDPE waxes) with vacuum gasoil (VGO) on the catalytic cracking has been investigated. Runs have been conducted by feeding a blend of HDPE waxes/VGO (1/4 in mass) ...
Upgrading of heavy coker naphtha by means of catalytic cracking in refinery FCC unit
(Elsevier B.V., 2020-08)
The upgrading of heavy coker naphtha under conditions of the industrial fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) unit has been investigated, with the aim of obtaining light olefins and a gasoline fraction suitable to be used in the ...
A review on the valorization of CO2. Focusing on the thermodynamics and catalyst design studies of the direct synthesis of dimethyl ether
(Elsevier, 2022-08)
The direct synthesis of dimethyl ether (DME) on bifunctional catalysts is highly attractive for valorizing CO2 and syngas derived from biomass gasification and is a key process to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. DME economy ...
Conditions for the joint conversion of CO2 and syngas in the direct synthesis of light olefins using In2O3−ZrO2/SAPO-34 catalyst
(ACS, 2021-11-09)
The conditions for promoting the joint conversion of CO2 and syngas in the direct synthesis of light olefins have been studied. In addition, given the relevance for the viability of the process, the stability of the ...
Kinetic modeling and reactor design of the direct synthesis of dimethyl ether for CO2 valorization. A review
(Elsevier, 2022-08-04)
The direct synthesis of dimethyl ether (DME) is considered one of the most attractive routes for valorizing CO2 and syngas on a large scale. DME has a high cetane number and its properties are similar to those of liquefied ...
Model validation of a packed bed LTA membrane reactor for the direct synthesis of DME from CO/CO2
(2020-10-16)
A model for simulating the direct synthesis of dimethyl ether (DME) in a packed bed membrane reactor (PBMR) has been validated, using a LTA zeolite hydrophilic membrane in a lab-scale reaction equipment. In the model, ...
Experimental implementation of a catalytic membrane reactor for the direct synthesis of DME from H2+CO/CO2
(Elsevier, 2021-01-05)
The direct synthesis of dimethyl ether (DME) by the hydrogenation of CO2 and CO2/COx mixtures has been studied in an original packed bed membrane reactor (PBMR). The role of the hydrophilic LTA zeolite membrane is to remove ...
Conditioning the volatile stream from biomass fast pyrolysis for the attenuation of steam reforming catalyst deactivation
(Elsevier, 2022-03)
The fast deactivation of the reforming catalyst greatly conditions H2 production from biomass. In order to alleviate this problem, use of conditioning catalysts in a previous conditioning step has been proposed to modify ...
Role of zeolite properties in bio-oil deoxygenation and hydrocarbons production by catalytic cracking
(Elsevier, 2022-03)
A comparison between the behavior of Y and ZSM-5 zeolites having the same Si/Al ratio was established in the catalytic cracking of bio-oil for producing fuels and platform chemicals. The catalysts were prepared by agglomerating ...
