Abstract
Cracking of vacuum residue from the Novokuybyshevsk oil refinery was studied. The yields of gaseous, liquid and solid products at a temperature of 500 °C and process duration 10-30 min were determined. The hydrocarbon composition of liquid products was studied. It is shown that the addition of WC/Ni-Cr nanosized powder (NSP) promotes an increase in the yield of the fraction with boiloing temperature up to 360 oC by 66.4 mass % in comparison with initial vacuum residue and by 40.4 mass % in comparison with cracking without NSP. The effect of WC/Ni-Cr NSP on the changes in the molecular structures of high-molecular heteroatomic compounds (resins, asphaltenes) was studied.
