Conclusions
-
1.
It has been shown that in the cracking of normal paraffins with a long chain, the retarding action of the olefins formed is compensated or even overcome as a result of formation of radicals from decomposition of the olefins at the C−C bond conjugated with the double bond.
-
2.
Cracking of normal paraffins having long chains, beginning at a very low degree of cracking, about 0.1%, takes place as a chain process with chain generation as a result of decomposition of C4 and higher olefins.
