Fluid Catalytic Cracking: II: Concepts in Catalyst Design (ACS Symposium Series) - Tapa dura

As refiners worldwide meet crude oil quality problems and address environmental issues and regulations, development of new fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) formulations are essential. In this volume, theoretical and applied aspects of cracking are discussed in chapters dealing with the origin and effects of strong acidity, modelling, catalyst testing, residue processing, and additive usage. Several chapters combine catalyst design with modern characterization techniques to provide guidance in the difficult problem of cracking metal-contaminated feedstocks.
