What, you again but another name?RedDwarf - 24-9-2019 at 07:34
What you have put together looks like a thermal/steam cracking operation - so breaking large hydrocarbon molecules into smaller ones. What you will
get out of it will depend on the "naptha" that you put in, generally cracking incrwease the percentage of unsaturated hydrocarbons and the percentage
of aromatics and decreases the percentage of napthalenes and alkanes (and those alkanes that remain will generally be shorter chains). It certainly
wouldn't produce pure benzene and would need fractional distillation to give even a usable gasoline (again assuming that you'd started with a naptha
that could give you the mix of products that you'd need.
Would your process actually work? I don't believe so, as you are assuming that you will keep the tube furnace at 70atm and you are showing no way of
getting the feedstock into the tube furnace at that pressure - please tell me that you aren't planning on heating glass flasks to the level where
you're developing that pressure!Praxichys - 24-9-2019 at 07:41
You can crack naphtha catalytically at 1atm and much milder temperatures with a suitable catalyst. You're basically trying to make gasoline from
diesel?rockyit98 - 25-9-2019 at 04:49
