Catalytic cracking, reaction temperature: diesel
Thread Content
What is the impact of high catalytic cracking reaction temperatures on the properties of diesel, and does it lead to an increase in aromatics? Catalytic cracking involves high reaction temperatures; what effects does this have on the sulfur content and composition of diesel?
A high reaction temperature results in a higher 95% point for diesel, and this has little to do with the sulfur content contained within it
Will the aromatics content in diesel be higher at high reaction temperatures?
High reaction temperatures cause the saturated hydrocarbons in diesel to further crack, resulting in a decrease in diesel production and quality, an increase in the aromatic content, and an increase in density. The sulfur content is not very clear.
