- Additional information
- Although industrial Fluidised Catalytic Cracking units are primarily used to produce gasoline & diesel, propylene (a widely used polymer) can also be produced. This work shows that the yield of propylene can be increased by up to 95% from the typical base yield value of 4.59%, which is a significant increase and provides engineers another viable route for producing polypropylene.
