Light olefins are unsaturated hydrocarbons with at least one carbon–carbon double bond.
They include ethene (or ethylene) propene (or propylene), and butene. Ethylene and …

Light olefins are the main building blocks used in the petrochemical and chemical industries
for the production of different components such as polymers, synthetic fibers, rubbers, and …

The direct conversion of crude oil to light olefins is considered one the cheapest and most
reliable sources of petrochemical primary feedstocks. Unlike in the past when refineries …

In recent years, the oil market has witnessed high volatility due to unstable demand and
supply. Considering the price volatility and stricter environmental regulations, there is a …

Over the last decades, carbon dioxide capture has attracted lots of attention and different
solution have been proposed, yet the global CO 2 concentration is still increasing along with …

This work presents a multi-functional NiCoCe-based catalyst for crude oil steam reforming
for hydrogen production. Arab Light (AL) and Arab Extra Light (AXL) were centrifuged to …

The transformation of oil refining into chemical processing is an obvious trend for oil
industry, which can efficiently process and utilize oils to reduce carbon emission and is an …

Achieving direct catalytic cracking of crude oil to produce low-cost petrochemicals is a
milestone technology for the transformation of refinery from “fuel type” to “chemical …

With the demand for vehicle fuels (ie, gasoline and diesel) is expected to decline soon,
crude oil to chemical technology exhibits great potential to drive the next industry transition …

There is still considerable controversy surrounding the mechanisms, thermodynamics, and
kinetics of heavy oil aquathermolysis and pyrolysis processes. The present paper aims to …
