Zusammenfassung: | Embodiments of the invention provide a method for the fluid catalytic cracking of a heavy hydrocarbon feedstock. According to at least one embodiment, the method includes supplying the heavy hydrocarbon feedstock to a reaction zone having a catalyst, such that both the heavy hydrocarbon feedstock and the catalyst are in contact in a down-flow mode, wherein said contact between the heavy hydrocarbon feedstock and the catalyst takes place in a fluidized catalytic cracking apparatus having a separation zone, a stripping zone, and a regeneration zone. The method further includes maintaining the reaction zone at a temperature of between 500 and 600° C., such that the hydrocarbon feedstock converts into a cracked hydrocarbon effluent comprising light olefins, gasoline, and diesel. The catalyst includes between 10 and 20% by weight of a phosphorous modified sub-micron ZSM-5, between 10 and 20% by weight of an ultra-stable Y-type zeolite, between 20 and 30% by weight of a pseudoboehmite alumina, and between 20 and 40% by weight of kaolin. The phosphorous modified sub-micron ZSM-5 has an average crystal size between 50 and 400 nm, inclusive, and a silica to alumina ratio of 1:2 to 1:4, inclusive. |
