Abstract
The utilization of catalytic oil slurry furfural extract as a high aromatic filling oil holds immense potential for enhancing rubber performance and properties. This study focuses on the properties and composition analysis of oil slurries extracted from the Maoming Petrochemical No. 2 and No. 4 catalytic cracking units, revealing a high content of aromatic hydrocarbons up to 70%. Through systematic experimentation, it has been determined that the 2# slurry oil is optimal for butadiene rubber (BR), while the 4# slurry oil is well-suited for styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR). Furthermore, a market feasibility comparison evaluates the performance of synthetic rubber infused with high aromatic oil, providing insights into the potential market acceptance of the 2# and 4# slurry oil extractions. This comprehensive study not only highlights the technical advancements in rubber manufacturing but also emphasizes the competitive edge and economic viability offered by catalytic oil slurry furfural extract as a high aromatic filling oil.
