Catalytic Cracking for Crude Oil Conversion to Chemicals: From Discovery to Deployment

Along with a brief introduction to crude oil cracking the book highlights basic reaction chemistry, catalyst technologies and transition processes being adopted by major energy companies to position the refinery in a profitable ecosystem. The book addresses novel technologies in catalytic cracking for converting crude oil to chemicals and is an important resource for experts and novice researchers in the field of zeolite-based crude oil cracking.

Topics include: Environmental Concerns and Net Zero for Crude Oil Cracking; Reaction Chemistry and Kinetics to Maximize Chemicals; Novel Catalysts for Cracking Crude Oil to Chemicals; Maximizing Light Olefins from Integrated Catalytic and Steam Cracking; Flexible Processes for Chemicals and Fuels Production; Process Configurations for Direct Crude Oil Cracking; Steam Catalytic Cracking of Crude Oil; Prediction of Chemical Yields by AI/ML; Co-processing of Renewable and Waste-based Feedstocks with Crude Oil; Improving Profitability of Crude Oil Catalytic Cracking; Cracking Technology Selection and Enhanced Olefins Production
