Abstract | ||||
Sulphonated mica was prepared as catalytic cracking catalyst for heavy naphtha by sulphonation of oxidized mica using sulfuric acid. The oxidized mica was prepared by the treatment of mica with nitric acid to obtain its oxidized form. The raw mica and the prepared catalyst were analyzed by X-ray diffraction and FT-IR spectral analysis. The evaluation of the mica in catalytic cracking reaction of heavy naphtha showed weak activity. Modified mica exhibited high catalytic cracking activity. | ||||
