Comprehensive review of the hydrocracking process starting from the commercialization in the 60’s up to the present.
Focus on conventional ideal bifunctional reaction mechanism (acid catalyzed steps and quasi-equilibrated (de)hydrogenation on the metal). Various catalyst configurations were reviewed.
Lumped, discrete lumped, and continuous lumped model have been developed, as well as more structure-oriented lumping and single-event kinetics.
