Abstract
Catalytic cracking of C_<12>-C_<32> hydrocarbons was performed as model compounds using hierarchical zeolite-containing mesoporous silica-alumina. Curie point pyrolyzer was used as a new evaluation method of catalytic cracking. The activity and product selectivity using hierarchical catalysts were compared with those of zeolite-kaolin mixed catalyst. The conversion was improved with increasing the number of carbon of raw material, and alkene showed higher reactivity than alkane. Hierarchical catalysts showed higher gasoline yield than kaolin mixed catalysts.
