Question

Fluid-bed catalytic cracking products contain high proportions of aromatic and iso-paraffin compounds than thermal cracking process.

(a) True

(b) False

I had been asked this question by my college professor while I was bunking the class.

My doubt stems from Cracking in chapter Fuels and Combustion of Engineering Chemistry II

Answer 1

Right choice is (a) True

To explain I would say: The products obtained in fluid-bed catalytic cracking are distributed in different chambers due to which it has higher proportions of aromatic and iso-paraffin compounds than thermal cracking. This process is used by the industries for the cracking process.
