INHIBITION OF COKING ON METAL SURFACE IN PYROLYTIC PROCESS AND ANTIFOULANT COMPOSITION FOR PYROLYTIC PROCESS

摘要

The formation of carbon on metals exposed to hydrocarbons in a thermal cracking process is reduced by contacting such metals with an antifoulant selected from the group consisting of an organic compound of chromium, a combination of tin and elemental chromium or an organic compound of chromium, a combination of antimony and elemental chromium or an organic compound of chromium and a combination of tin, antimony and elemental chromium or an organic compound of chromium.
