Combustion of the coke deposited on a commercial catalytic cracking catalyst is studied bydifferential scanning calorimetry. The conditions of the industrial operation in a fluidized catalyticcracking unit causing deactivation (feed, contact time, and temperature, C/O ratio) and thoseused for regeneration (catalyst stripping and temperature) have been reproduced. Combustionheat of coke is strongly dependent on combustion temperature and on deactivation severity(reaction conditions). Kinetic equations for the formation of gaseous combustion products, CO,CO2, and H2O, have been determined, which are useful in the design of industrial regenerators.
