Results for tag: "Cracking Catalyst"

Cracking catalysts are a type of catalyst used in the refining of petroleum products. They are used to break down large molecules of hydrocarbons into smaller molecules, such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. Cracking catalysts are typically composed of zeolites, which are porous materials that can absorb and hold molecules of hydrocarbons. The catalysts are used to increase the efficiency of the cracking process, allowing for more efficient production of petroleum products. Cracking catalysts are used in a variety of industries, including the petrochemical, oil and gas, and automotive industries. They are also used in the production of plastics, detergents, and other products. Some of the major companies in the cracking catalyst market include BASF, Albemarle Corporation, Clariant, Johnson Matthey, and W.R. Grace & Co. Show Less Read more
