Abstract

The study investigates the effectiveness of using atmospheric oxygen as an activator in the thermal cracking process under varying temperature conditions. It has been established that activation of thermal cracking significantly reduces the viscosity of the heavy residue, increases the yield of light fractions, and enhances the performance of the reaction system.
