Abstract A catalyst composition suitable for catalytic cracking of a heavy hydrocarbon oil containing large amounts of metal contaminants is prepared by the steps of spray-drying an aqueous slurry containing a flash calcined alumina obtained by contacting an aluminum hydroxide prepared Bayer's process with a hot air of 350-700°C for 5 seconds or less, clay being predominantly composed of silica and alumina, a precursor of a siliceous inorganic oxide and a crystalline aluminosilicate; washing this particle until the alkali metal content therein is reduced to 1.0wt% or less as oxide; and thereafter incorporating a rare earth component in the particle.
A method for preparing hydrocarbon cracking catalyst compositions which comprises forming a fine spherical particle by spray- drying an aqueous slurry containing a flash calcined alumina obtained by contacting an aluminum hydroxide prepared by Bayer's process with a hot air of 350-700°C for 5 seconds or less, clay being predominantly composed of silica and alumina, a precursor of a siliceous inorganic oxide and a crystalline aluminosilicate; washing this particle until the alkali metal content therein is reduced to 1.0wt% or less as oxide; and thereafter introducing a rare earth component in the particle.
