Pressure & temperature maintained in catalytic cracking is about__________________?

Correct answer: A. 2 atm & 500°C

  • A. 2 atm & 500°C
  • B. 10 atm & 500°C
  • C. 30 atm & 200°C
  • D. 50 atm & 750°C

Explanation

Fluid catalytic cracking commonly uses temperatures near 500°C and relatively low pressures, around 1–3 atm, because cracking is favoured by high temperature and low pressure. Therefore, 2 atm and 500°C is the suitable combination.
