Pick out the correct statement pertaining to catalytic cracking ?

Correct answer: D. All A., B. and C.

  • A. With increase in the reactor pressure, octane number of gasoline decreases
  • B. With increase in the reactor temperature, gasoline yield decreases for a given conversion
  • C. Percentage conversion increases with increase in the catalyst to oil ratio
  • D. All A., B. and C.

Explanation

Increasing the catalyst-to-oil ratio generally increases conversion, while higher reactor pressure tends to reduce gasoline octane. At a fixed conversion, higher temperature promotes secondary cracking, so gasoline yield decreases and all three statements are acceptable.
