Cracking of hydrocarbons on medium pore zeolites for the production of light oIefin
In comparison to the numerous studies done on cracking of alkanes, there is no so much information available for alkenes. To gain fundamental knowledge of the catalytic cracking reactions of olefins, the scope of the proposed research will be focused on three main parts: study of the elementary steps in cracking of alkenes on zeolites, study of the influence of the zeolite framework on their activity and study of the effect of co-feeding small amounts of H20 with the olefin feed.
