    Publication number: 20110039688
    Abstract: (The present invention relates to a catalyst used in the production of light olefin through catalytic cracking of naphtha in a severe condition of high temperatures and high humidity. More particularly, this invention relates to a catalyst for catalytic cracking of hydrocarbon, which is used in production of light olefin and a production method thereof, wherein the catalyst is prepared by spray-drying and firing slurry mixed so that 0.01-5.0 wt % of MnO: and 1-15 wt % of P2O5 are simultaneously supported on zeolite, clay and inorganic oxides. The disclosed catalyst not only improves hydrothermal stability of a spherical catalyst which is obtained by modifying zeolite and inorganic oxides with manganese and phosphorus simultaneously, but also protects acid sites of the zeolite. Thus, the light olefin can be obtained at a high yield in catalytic cracking of hydrocarbon of C4 or more such as naphtha.

More particularly, two approaches are presented—one based on partial Fréchet distance calculations and the other based on a pair hidden Markov models. The partial Fréchet distance is adapted from the traditional Fréchet distance concept to match a subcurve or prefix of a query word. The pair hidden Markov model used in the present application is adapted from pair hidden Markov models used in bioinformatics as generative models of local and global alignment of biological sequences.
