Description
Summary:This review covers publications in the open literature and patents issued during the last 10 years on issues related to fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) gasoline sulfur reduction. Emphasis was placed on FCC additives, their composition and performance. An attempt was made to elucidate the mechanism for sulfur reduction at FCC cracking conditions. Fluid catalytic cracking technology advances, both process and catalyst, have historically worked together to achieve significant improvements in FCC performance. There is every reason to expect that this will continue to be the case in the future. These advances will have an impact on the volume and quality of the FCC gasoline produced and will offer additional operating flexibility.
