Definitions

• Process containment or furnace coils have evolved in alloy composition and properties over the last 60+ years to sustain the higher temperatures and lower feedstock residence times. This has resulted in an increase in unwanted or negative catalytic reactions at the coil surfaces and other carbon-based fouling mechanisms, as well as the amount of amorphous or gas-phase coke that results from the radical chain reactions of the cracking process; for example, carbon or coke build-up by surface-catalyzed "filamentous" coke- make and accumulation of amorphous coke from the gas-phase reactions. Overall, these fouling mechanisms reduce furnace and plant efficiencies, and significantly increase furnace maintenance costs.

• compositions and methods described herein may be understood more readily by reference to the following detailed description of specific aspects of the disclosed subject matter and the examples included therein.
• Olefin production through hydrocarbon steam cracking is highly energy and capital intensive.
• One detrimental consequence of the cracking process is the formation of coke.
• Coke deposits in cracking coils, quench exchangers, and other downstream equipment which can result in: loss of heat transfer and thermal efficiency, carburization of coils and components, high maintenance costs and reduced furnace availability, high pressure drop and reduction in furnace throughput, and reduced production yield.
• nickel and iron in the bulk tube metal act as catalysts for coke formation.
• coke grows as hair-like filaments with an active nickel or iron particle at the tip.
• the filaments grow laterally into each other and continue to lengthen. The result is a thick porous carbon coating.
• a second source of coke-make known as gas-phase coke or amorphous coke, is produced as a by-product of the radical-chain based cracking process and such amorphous coke collects on the filaments growing on the steel surface leading to a complex and dense coke layer at the inner tube wall.
• the coatings and coating methods described herein can reduce or eliminate filamentous coke-make and can catalyze carbon gasification reactions, which can thereby reduce the overall build-up of coke in cracking coils, quench exchangers, and/or other downstream equipment.
• the coatings described herein can, in some examples, be used to protect pipe and equipment for other, non-olefin production processes in which coke formation is undesirable.
• stainless steel surfaces are prone to the formation of filamentous (catalytic) carbon or coke and the accumulation of amorphous (or gas-phase) coke, with their relative contribution to the total coke-make being defined by the petrochemical manufacturing process, feedstock, and the operating conditions.
• Filamentous coke formation is well documented and has been shown to be catalyzed by transition metal surface species, their oxides, and compounds thereof, with iron and nickel-based species being the major catalysts present in stainless steels.
• the coatings described herein are deposited on a substrate and have two regions.
• a first region is the outermost region of the coating with respect to the substrate; this region is exposed to the processing atmosphere. Underlying the first region and immediately adjacent the substrate is a second region.
• the first region of the coating can comprise a manganese oxide, a chromium- manganese oxide, or a combination thereof.
• the first region can provide chemical stability to the coatings, for example, for commercial utility in a petrochemical furnace environment (e.g., within a cracking environment).
• the coating, and particularly the first region can catalyze carbon gasification.
• the manganese oxide can, for example, be selected from the group consisting of MnO, ⁇ 2 O 3 , Mn 3 0 4 , MnO 2 , and combinations thereof.
• the chromium manganese oxide can, for example, have a spinel or an inverse spinel structure. In some examples, the chromium manganese oxide can be non- stoichiometric. In some examples, the chromium manganese oxide can comprise Mn a Cr 3 - a 0 4 , wherein 0.5 ⁇ a ⁇ 3.
• a can be 0.5 or more (e.g., 0.6 or more, 0.7 or more, 0.8 or more, 0.9 or more, 1.0 or more, 1.1 or more, 1.2 or more, 1.3 or more, 1.4 or more, 1.5 or more, 1.6 or more, 1.7 or more, 1.8 or more, 1.9 or more, 2.0 or more, 2.1 or more, 2.2 or more, 2.3 or more, 2.4 or more, 2.5 or more, 2.6 or more, 2.7 or more, or 2.8 or more).

• the effect of rare earth element and/or rare earth oxide species on the coating robustness were also evaluated by adding the rare earth element and/or rare earth oxide to the surface of the consolidated coating.
• Ce and La acetate were dissolved in water and deposited on a consolidated coating surface. The acetate species were then heat treated to form the desired oxide, after which the coating underwent surface generation.
• a back scattered electron image of the coating formed with CeO 2 added is shown in Figure 5 and an energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy map of the coating formed with CeO 2 added is shown in Figure 6.
• a back scattered electron image of the coating formed with La 2 O 3 added is shown in Figure 7 and an energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy map of the coating formed with La 2 O 3 added is shown in Figure 8.
• the effect of rare earth element and/or rare earth oxide species on the first region's robustness were also evaluated by adding the rare earth element and/or rare earth oxide during the formation of the coating. For example, three rare earth element and/or rare earth oxide species - CeO 2 , La 2 O 3 , and a mischmetal combination (75 wt% CeO 2 , 25 wt% La 2 O 3 ), at two loadings (1.5 and 3.0 wt%) were evaluated. After the consolidation heat treatment, rare earth element and/or rare earth oxide species were associated with other oxygen containing phases present within the consolidated coating.
• thermo-mechanical robustness of the various samples was examined by heating the samples to 1000°C and then water quenching the samples.
• Reference samples e.g., coatings with no rare earth element and/or rare earth oxide
• the samples in which the rare earth element and/or rare earth oxide was added to the consolidated coating had few areas of delamination and cracking, and were mostly intact after three water quenches ( Figure 14).
• the samples in which the rare earth element and/or rare earth oxide were added had areas of partial delamination to certain areas of the first region, but no delamination to the second region ( Figure 15).
