## Abstract A novel experimental setup allowed both the kinetics of the thermal cracking of ethane and of the coke formation to be studied over a temperature range extending from 750 to 870Β°C. The overall kinetics of ethane disappearance are in excellent agreement with previously reported pilot res

The coking and cracking behaviour of a heavy oil fraction derived from Stuart shale oil was investigated in a moving packed-bed reactor. Experiments were performed to evaluate the conversion of heavy oil into lower-boiling products, coke and gases when contacted with fully burnt shale ash and sand.
