A new mathematical approach for Liquified Petroleum Gas catalytic cracking over nano-Zeolite based on Complex Reaction Theory

The purpose of this study was to develop an appropriate kinetic model for LPG catalytic cracking over a nano zeolite as an active site. A computer program developed in FORTRAN program could execute model automatically. The mathematical method is introduced for deriving reaction routes, overall reactions, and the basic reaction routs based on the theory of complex reactions. An Intermediate Matrix is used to facilitate the combination of elementary reaction to finally obtain the rate constants of reactants/products molecules involved in proposed elementary reactions. The combinated mechanism of LPG catalytic cracking included complex reactions method and lumped model has been illustrated as a typical catalytic heterogeneous reaction over a nano catalyst.
