Rj. Zou et al., STUDY ON A KINETIC-MODEL OF ATMOSPHERIC GAS OIL PYROLYSIS AND COKE DEPOSITION, Industrial & engineering chemistry research, 32(5), 1993, pp. 843-847
The kinetics of pyrolysis and coke deposition of atmospheric gas oil (
AGO for short) were studied at atmospheric pressure. The temperature,
steam/AGO ratio, and residence time were varied in the range 1063-1208
K, 0.2 mol/mol, and 0.02-1.2 s, respectively. Mathematical models for
pyrolysis and coke deposition have been proposed. Ethylene and aromat
ics are found to be the coke precursors. The study shows that the coki
ng process in AGO pyrolysis is controlled by reaction kinetics.
