摘要:

Catalytic cracking has reached technological maturity without the benefit of a fundamental understanding and quantification of its elementary processes. Without this understanding, advances in this field have become increasingly rare and will be even more difficult to achieve in the future. This article offers a basis for the development of a fundamental understanding of catalytic cracking. It ties together all of the principal phenomena in catalytic cracking and lays a foundation for their quantification on the basis of the following postulates. 1. All important processes involved in the suite of reactions which fall under the generic name of “catalytic cracking” proceed via the mediation of surface-resident ions.

摘要:

Catalysis and heterogeneous catalysts are essential to our present technology for the production and consumption of fuels, the manufacture and processing of chemical feedstocks and plastics [1,2]. It had been estimated that the introduction of this technology has permitted savings of more than 400 million barrels of oil each year [l]. Today, worldwide catalysts sales exceed $5.9 billion per year, and it has been estimated that catalysts generate fuels and chemicals worth $2.4 trillion annually, equivalent to half the U.S. Gross National Product [1,2].
