Abstract
Proposes a kinetic model to describe fluid
catalytic cracking of vacuum gas oil on a molecular level by the
structure-oriented lumping method. The
structure-oriented lumping method was applied to construct a feedstock matrix
and reaction networks.
Nearly 400 different molecules were selected to
represent feedstock composition, and a non-linear least squares method was used
to calculate the content of each kind of molecule. Sixty-six kinds of reaction
rules were established to produce the networks for the reactions of vacuum gas
oil. Product distribution and properties can be predicted by the
structure-oriented lumping model, which are in good agreement with the
experimental data.
