Abstract: Remarkable progress has been made in petroleum refining industry in China during the past fifty years.Not only refining capacity ranks the second place in the world, but also refining technology has basically attained the world advanced level.In the path of continual progress of petroleum refining technology, domestic innovations played an important role.Some important refining processes, such as fluid catalytic cracking, hydrocracking and hydrotreating, catalytic reforming, delayed coking since the sixties in the last century are reviewed.Some valuable experiences and recommendations are presented.

Key words: petroleum refining industry, petroleum refining technology, technical progress

摘要： 半个世纪以来,中国石油炼制取得令人瞩目的进展,不仅炼油能力已跃居世界第二位,而且炼油技术也基本达到世界先进水平。在炼油技术持续进步的过程中,自主技术创新占有重要位置。系统回顾了20世纪60年代以来重要炼油技术(催化裂化、加氢裂化与加氢处理、催化重整、延迟焦化、常减压蒸馏等)的发展历程,总结了所取得的有益经验和基本体会。
