Abstract
Thermal cracking reactions of vacuum residue (VR) at 420 ℃ with different reaction time were carried out to evaluate an industrial H-donor’s effect on thermal cracking process at molecular level. The mass distribution, conversion ratio, asphaltene and coke yields were analyzed to evaluate the changing rules. Aromatic structures of H-donor were analyzed and its typical structures were speculated, and the bond energy of those model compounds were calculated. It can be concluded that the >460℃ fractions from a refinery stream have abundant H-donors. From analyzing the structures of asphaltenes for the feed and products, it can be learned that H-donors not only can modify the asphaltene structures but also can improve the asphaltene solubility.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Analytical and Applied Pyrolysis (JAAP) is devoted to the publication of papers dealing with innovative applications of pyrolysis processes, the characterization of products related to pyrolysis reactions, and investigations of reaction mechanism. To be considered by JAAP, a manuscript should present significant progress in these topics. The novelty must be satisfactorily argued in the cover letter. A manuscript with a cover letter to the editor not addressing the novelty is likely to be rejected without review.
