A BS TRA CT Low pressure hydrocracking (40-80 atm., 425°C and 0.5 liquid hourly space velocity is achieved economically on a low cost spent hydrodesulphurisation catalyst (cobalt-molylalumina) using vacuum distillate of Indian crudes. Once through, conversion to products boiling below 371°C was in the range 40.69-43.04 wt % with the middle distillate amounting to 32.03-38.24 wt %.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
