Catalyst production for the transformation of crudes into gasoline
and other fuel products is a billion dollar/year business and fluid
cracking catalysts (FCCs) represent almost half of the refinery
catalyst market.
During the cracking reactions, the FCC surface is contaminated by
metals (Ni, V, Fe, Cu, Na) and by coke deposition. As a result, the
catalyst activity and product selectivity is reduced to
unacceptable levels thus forcing refiners to replace part of the
recirculating equilibrium FCC inventory with fresh FCC to
compensate for losses in catalyst performance. About 1,100 tons/day
of FCC are used worldwide in over 200 fluid cracking catalyst units
(FCCUs).
It is for these reasons that refiners' interest in FCC research has
remained high through the years almost independantly, of crude oil
prices. However, recent oil company mergers and the dissolution of
research laboratories, have drastically decreased the number of
researchers involved in petroleum refining research projects; as a
result the emphasis of research has shifted from new materials to
process improvements and this trend is clearly reflected in the
type of papers contained in this volume.
Modern spectroscopic techniques continue to be essential in the
understanding of catalyst performance and several chapters in the
book describe the use of 27Al, 29Si and 13C NMR to study variation
in FCC acidity during aging and coke deposition. In addition
several chapters have been dedicated to the modeling of FCC
deactivation, and to the understanding of contact times on FCC
performance. Refiners efforts to conform with environmental
regulations are reflected in chapters dealing with sulfur removal,
metalscontaminants and olefin generation.
