The optimisation of the ethylene cracking process is fundamental to modern petrochemical production, where refining hydrocarbon feedstocks under high temperatures results in the formation of valuable ...

The cracking process in Longmaxi formation shale was experimentally studied during uniaxial compressive loading. Both the evolution of the three-dimensional fracture network and the micromechanics of ...

A major part of making heavy crude oil into gasoline and other products is the fluidic catalytic cracking processing. The process, first used commercially in 1915, has since undergone a variety of ...

The Japanese firms Mitsui Chemicals, Microwave Chemical, and Chiyoda are collaborating on a new electrical route to ethylene. Microwave Chemical is developing a process, using microwave radiation, to ...

Separating crude oil into its several constituents is the function of the oil refinery. The crude oil is put into a still and heated. The molecularly lighter substances are given off, beginning with ...
