Abstract
Researchers explored the inter-conversion of light olefins over four types of HZSM-5 based catalysts under cracking conditions. They observed similar behaviors of light olefin inter-conversion, regardless the types of catalyst, depending only on conversion of light olefins.
Conversion and selectivity were not influenced by the presence of hydrogen. This would indicate that light paraffins were mainly produced from hydrogen transfer during cracking, rather than hydrogenation of light olefins. If so, then the inter-conversion of light olefins occurs through oligomerization of light olefins, followed by re-cracking of the oligomerized products. Consequently, it is necessary to suppress oligomerization of light olefins during catalytic cracking to guarantee high light olefin yield in catalytic naphtha cracking.
