The fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) unit converts low-value heavy hydrocarbons into a series of more valuable products such as gasoline and light olefinic compounds. Higher selectivity to these intermediate products is more desirable for FCC reactor performance.
FCC is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction by reducing the activation energy and is often used in oil refinery process for the rupture of high molecular weight hydrocarbon chains, a process needed to optimize the proportion of gasoline produced.
FCC particles, which are designed for a fluidized bed, are a well-known example of a composite catalyst; and the situation encountered can be considered representative
