Abstract
Reports a study of the effect of temperature and catalyst-to-oil ratio on the distribution of the basic products of oil catalytic cracking on the bizeolite and industrial LUX catalysts.  The objective was to increase the yield of light C2-C4 olefins in comparison with that in conventional catalytic cracking.
The bizeolite catalyst contains ZSM-5 and ultrastable Y zeolites in equivalent amounts, while the LUX catalyst contains 18 wt % of Y zeolite in the HRE form.  Test results reveal the yield of C2-C4 olefins and gasoline in the deep catalytic cracking of hydrotreated vacuum gasoil on the bizeolite catalyst within a range of catalyst-to-oil ratios of 5–7 and temperatures of 540–560°C reaches 32–36 and nearly 30 wt %, respectively. In cracking on the LUX catalyst under similar conditions, the yield of light olefins and gasoline is 12–16 and 37–45 wt %, respectively.  Authors prove that the fractions of gas condensate and hydroc-racking residue can serve as an additional source of hydrocarbon raw materials in the production of olefins.
