Abstract

A continuously flowing micro-reactor-GC system with a spontaneous multi-sampling device was set up to characterize the relative selectivity of bi-molecular reaction pathways and mono-molecular reaction pathways, denoted as R1, in catalytic cracking process, in which m-xylene was used as the model molecule of raw material. The R1 value determined by the new method can be well correlated with E-cat unit cell size and acid site density, and is consistent with the product distribution obtained from fixed fluidized bed reactor. The R1 value can be used to estimate the quality of the cracking gasoline obtained in FCC process over the corresponding catalyst.
