The solid waste from this procedure is the usual input to a SNOX process plant. The initial project for Coolbrook’s RotoDynamic system is to do this series of reactions using electricity as a major input. USY for use in one form of this process is created by acid removal of aluminum from faujasite. Largely superseded methods to do this process are the Shukhov and Burton processes. Producing a solid waste called (*) petcoke, this process in modern forms is the primary use of high-silica zeolite catalysts. When done in the presence of hydrogen gas, this industrial process produces relatively more LPG, naphtha, and diesel; therefore, the fluid catalytic form is used where gasoline is desired. For 10 points, name this usually high-temperature process of breaking long-chain hydrocarbons down into shorter ones. ■END■
