Fluid Catalytic Cracking VIPreparation and Characterization of Catalysts, Proceedings of the 6th International Symposium in Fluid Cracking Catalysts (FCCs)

M. Occelli (Eds.)9780444514738, 0444514732

This volume looks at the recent progress of this technology as reported in the 21 papers presented during the 219th National Meeting of the ACS in New York, September 5-11, 2003.In addition, the volume focuses on the use of modern spectroscopic techniques for the generation of detailed structural analysis required for the advancement of the science of FCC design.Other chapters look at the use and importance of solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), microcalorimetry and atomic force microscopy (AFM) to the study of FCCs and discussing strategies to control pollutant emissions from a refinery FCCU and looking at advances in FCC preparation.
