Hydrocracking of heavy residues into diesel is another application.

Dicoronylene was later discovered to occur as a by-product of the catalytic hydrocracking used in petroleum processing.

The hydrocracking of paraffins is the only one of the above four major reforming reactions that consumes hydrogen.

Since carbon rejection is generally inefficient and wasteful, catalytic hydrocracking is preferred in most cases.

Nearing completion, the Long Lake Project, was designed to provide its own fuel, by on-site hydrocracking of the bitumen extracted.

His research interests focus on kinetic modeling, in particular on the catalytic hydrocracking of hydrocarbons, on chemical plants and thermodynamics.

It is estimated that catalytical hydrocracking produces several hundred metric tons of dicoronylene worldwide per year, making it the most prevalent large PAH.

Group III base stocks are produced by further hydrocracking of either Group II base stocks or hydroisomerized slack wax (a Group I and II dewaxing process by-product).

This is called 'upgrading,' the key components of which include 1) removal of water, sand, physical waste and lighter products; 2) catalytic purification (hydrodemetallization, hydrodesulfurization and hydrodenitrogenation; and 3) hydrogenation though carbon rejection or catalytic hydrocracking.

It is produced industrially as a byproduct of the production of 1,4-butanediol from butadiene, and is also a byproduct of the catalytic hydrocracking of starches and sugars such as sorbitol to ethylene glycol and propylene glycol.
