Mechanism and Influence Factors of BTX Production by LCO Hydrocracking
Benzene,toluene,xylene(BTX)and other low-carbon aromatics are important chemical materials,and will maintain large demand in the world in the next few years,but the current capacity can not meet the market demand.Therefore,many researchers have proposed a process route to produce high value-added BTX by using FCC light cycle oil(LCO)as a feedstock.This review focuses on the reaction network and mechanism of hydrocracking of various types of molecules in LCO so as to facilitate the industry to understand the development of this technology.
