Catalytic Cracking of 1-Dodecene to Light Olefins Over Steam-Treated Phosphorus-Modified ZSM-5 Zeolites

Key Points

• Light olefins were effectively produced from 1-dodecene during catalytic cracking.
• The process achieved a significant yield of lightweight hydrocarbons, enhancing fuel efficiency.
• Assessment of steam-treated phosphorus-modified ZSM-5 zeolites confirmed improved catalytic activity.
• Findings suggest that fine-tuning zeolite properties could optimize petrochemical processes.
