A “cracking” good performance : Cycloalkanes, which are easily accessible from the surplus aromatic products of petrochemistry, can be converted under hydrogen into a steamcracker feed consisting mainly of n ‐alkanes. The highest yields are obtained on zeolite H‐ZSM‐5 with tiny amounts of noble metals—a catalyst with a new type of cracking performance.
