The aim of this thesis is to examine the possible mechanisms for the reaction between coke-bound Nitrogen and Carbon with Oxygen in the regenerator of Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) units. This information is required for the reliable modelling of the FCC regenerator section to predict the noxious emissions during catalyst regeneration, which in turn, may help in developing techniques to reduce emissions of NOx, CO and CO2. The kinetics involved in their formation are related, as they are formed simultaneously in regenerators.
