Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
47 words
A process for passivating a metal selected from the group consisting of nickel, vanadium and iron on a clay based cracking catalyst which comprises contacting the contaminated clay based cracking catalyst having said metal thereon with indium antimonide under elevated temperature conditions sufficient to passivate said metal.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
47 words
A process for passivating a metal selected from the group consisting of nickel, vanadium and iron on a clay based cracking catalyst which comprises contacting the contaminated clay based cracking catalyst having said metal thereon with indium antimonide under elevated temperature conditions sufficient to passivate said metal.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
57 words
A process in accordance with claim 1 wherein said clay based cracking catalyst is contacted with a sufficient quantity of indium antimonide such as to deposit about 0.005 to about 5 tw. % of indium antimonide on said clay based cracking catalyst, said weight percentage being based on the weight of the cracking catalyst plus indium antimonide.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
A process in accordance with claim 1 wherein said indium antimonide has a particle size that it passes through Tyler Standard Screen of at least 150 mesh.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
34 words
A process in accordance with claim 1 wherein said clay based cracking catalyst in contact with said indium antimonide is heated to a temperature in the range of about 800° to about 1500° F.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
A process in accordance with claim 4 wherein said clay based cracking catalyst is contacted with said indium antimonide under reducing conditions.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
23 words
A process in accordance with claim 4 wherein said contaminated clay based cracking catalyst is contacted with said indium antimonide under oxidizing conditions.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
52 words
A process in accordance with claim 5 wherein said clay based cracking catalyst and said indium antimonide in finely divided powder form are contacted with each other at a temperature of about 800° to about 1500° F. while the mixture of the two is being fluidized by a free hydrogen comprising fluid.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
17 words
A catalyst obtained by contacting a clay based cracking catalyst with indium antimonide under elevated temperature conditions.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
17 words
A catalyst obtained by contacting a clay based cracking catalyst with indium antimonide under elevated temperature conditions.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
31 words
A catalyst in accordance with claim 8 obtained by reacting 0.005 to 5 wt. % of indium antimonide based on the weight of the catalyst with said clay based cracking catalyst.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
29 words
A catalyst in accordance with claim 8 obtained by contacting a clay based cracking catalyst with finely divided indium antimonide at a temperature of 800° to about 1500° F.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
23 words
A catalyst in accordance with claim 10 wherein said clay based cracking catalyst has been contacted with said indium antimonide under reducing conditions.
