Abstract
Abstract A specially prepared zeolite-containing silica-alumina hydrogel gives a catalyst that is attrition resistant, more active catalytically, more selective and more stable. The hydrogel is prepared by steps including nozzle mixing of reactants to form a hydrogel, ion exchanging with ammonium, aluminum and rare earth ions, washing, drying and impregnating with rare earths.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
88 words
A cracking catalyst made by a method comprising the steps of: (1) nozzle-mixing of an acid alum stream with a second stream comprising sodium silicate, alkali metal hydroxide and suspended fines; (2) forming droplets of the resulting sol and causing them to gel; (3) exchanging the gel by contacting same, in order, with (a) an ammonium salt solution, (b) an aluminum salt solution and (c) a rare earth salt solution; (4) washing with water; (5) homogenizing; (6) spray drying; (7) impregnating with rare earth ions; and (8) drying.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
88 words
A cracking catalyst made by a method comprising the steps of: (1) nozzle-mixing of an acid alum stream with a second stream comprising sodium silicate, alkali metal hydroxide and suspended fines; (2) forming droplets of the resulting sol and causing them to gel; (3) exchanging the gel by contacting same, in order, with (a) an ammonium salt solution, (b) an aluminum salt solution and (c) a rare earth salt solution; (4) washing with water; (5) homogenizing; (6) spray drying; (7) impregnating with rare earth ions; and (8) drying.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
