<p>Carbon dioxide is significantly responsible for global warming and must be captured from industrial emissions. The present study proposes an environmentally friendly configuration for naphtha thermal cracking (NTC) using chemical looping combustion (CLC) as an effective CO₂ capture technology. In this new configuration, the conventional furnace used for naphtha thermal cracking, as a CO₂ emission source, is eliminated, and the naphtha cracking reactor is thermally coupled with the chemical looping combustion reactors (NTC-CLC). The proposed novel configuration consists of three reactors: air reactor (AirR), naphtha cracking reactor, and fuel reactor (FuelR). The heat required for naphtha cracking in the NTC-CLC is provided by the FuelR and AirR that surround the naphtha cracking reactor. The chosen oxygen carrier (OxyC) for the CLC reactors is CuO/Al₂O₃ particles. A mathematical model is applied to compare the performance of the NTC-CLC design with that of the conventional process. The mathematical model was validated using domestic conventional naphtha cracking unit data. The model results indicate that in the newly proposed design, in addition to enabling the easy capture of CO₂ due to the use of CLC technology, the production rates of H₂, ethylene, and propylene, as well as the conversion of naphtha, are 7.46, 6.76, 6.49, and 3.93% higher, respectively, than those in the conventional configuration. Moreover, the impact of the&#xa0;flow rate and temperature of the naphtha feed in the cracking reactor and the effects of the temperature and flow rate of the OxyC in the AirR on naphtha conversion are evaluated.</p> Graphical Abstract <p></p>
