STUDY OF THE EFFECT OF A CONSTANT MAGNETIC FIELD ON THE DISPERSED AND PARAMAGNETIC PROPERTIES OF THE FEEDSTOCK IN THE CATALYTIC CRACKING PROCESS

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of a continuous magnetic field on the yield of end products and the overall efficiency of catalytic cracking using a granulated OMNIKAT-210P catalyst in a fluidized bed system. Experimental results demonstrate that the application of a magnetic field influences both the catalyst and the feedstock during the cracking process, intensifying reaction kinetics and significantly improving overall process performance. It was observed that catalytic conversions become more selective under the influence of the magnetic field, leading to increased formation of high-octane gasoline fractions as well as other valuable light petroleum products. As a result, the presence of a magnetic field contributes not only to enhanced product yield but also to improved quality of the resulting fuel fractions, thereby increasing the technological effectiveness of the catalytic cracking process.
