By varying the metal-acid balance (MAB) through different mixing ratios, we achieved higher yields and selectivity for soluble products at the optimal MAB level. Under mild conditions (250°C) for 8 h, polyethylene (PE) is efficiently converted into liquid phase iso-paraffins with an isomer selectivity of up to 56 % in the diesel and aviation kerosene fractions (C<sub>11</sub>-C<sub>18</sub>). This research underscores the importance of the accessibility of acidic sites to long-chain macromolecules, metal-acid site distance, and their balance in the hydrocracking of PE. It provides valuable theoretical insights and catalytic strategies for converting waste PE plastics into high-value fuel fractions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20743,"journal":{"name":"Process Safety and Environmental Protection","volume":"192 ","pages":"Pages 782-792"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142554911","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
