The title does not match the content at all. The catalytic cracking reaction is an endothermic process, while the regeneration process is an exothermic process. The combination of the two processes is exothermic.
It is recommended to read Chen Junwu’s book on catalytic cracking processes and engineering. Cracking is an endothermic process, while hydrogen transfer and isomerization are exothermic; overall, it remains an endothermic process. You can also make a judgment based on the temperature drop from bottom to top in the riser
This question is really strange – the production of the target product through cracking is an endothermic reaction, but the heat absorbed is released during catalyst regeneration...:L I’m stuck
