Abstract
Abstract Metals on a cracking catalyst are passivated by contacting the catalyst with at least one compound selected from the group of compounds having the general formula ##STR1## WHEREIN THE R groups which can be the same or different consist of hydrocarbyl radicals having 1 to about 18 carbon atoms per radical, the overall number of carbon atoms per molecule being 6 to about 90.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
93 words
A process for passivating metal on an active clay cracking catalyst which has become contaminated with at least one metal of the group consisting of nickel, vanadium, and iron which comprises contacting said catalyst with at least one antimony compound having the formula ##STR4## wherein the R groups which can be the same or different are hydrocarbyl radicals having from 1 to about 18 carbon atoms per radical, the total number of carbon atoms in the molecule being 6 to about 90, for a time sufficient to passivate said metal on said catalyst.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
93 words
A process for passivating metal on an active clay cracking catalyst which has become contaminated with at least one metal of the group consisting of nickel, vanadium, and iron which comprises contacting said catalyst with at least one antimony compound having the formula ##STR4## wherein the R groups which can be the same or different are hydrocarbyl radicals having from 1 to about 18 carbon atoms per radical, the total number of carbon atoms in the molecule being 6 to about 90, for a time sufficient to passivate said metal on said catalyst.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
42 words
A process in accordance with claim 1 wherein the radicals R are selected from the group consisting of alkyl radicals having 2 to about 10 carbon atoms per radical, substituted or unsubstituted cyclopentyl or cyclohexyl radicals or substituted or unsubstituted phenyl radicals.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
A process in accordance with claim 1 wherein said antimony compound comprises about 6 to about 21 weight percent of antimony.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
A process in accordance with claim 1 wherein said antimony compound is used in a quantity of up to about 1.5 weight percent of the catalyst to be treated.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
35 words
A process in accordance with claim 1 wherein an active clay cracking catalyst is contacted with that antimony compound and heat treated therewith in the presence of free oxygen in order to regenerate said catalyst.
