The optimisation of the ethylene cracking process is fundamental to modern petrochemical production, where refining hydrocarbon feedstocks under high temperatures results in the formation of valuable ...

The cracking process in Longmaxi formation shale was experimentally studied during uniaxial compressive loading. Both the evolution of the three-dimensional fracture network and the micromechanics of ...

Settlement cracks are usually thin, often less than 3mm wide, and appear relatively straight or slightly irregular. These ...

The Japanese firms Mitsui Chemicals, Microwave Chemical, and Chiyoda are collaborating on a new electrical route to ethylene. Microwave Chemical is developing a process, using microwave radiation, to ...

Last year, BASF, Sabic and Linde announced that they had signed an agreement that would see the three companies collaborate on the development and demonstration of solutions for electrically heated ...
