Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim
170 words
The process of producing a cracking catalyst which comprises forming a silica-alumina gel having a SiO 2 :Al 2 O 3 molar ratio from about 1.5 to 1.7 and associated with sodium ions and mixing said gel with an ammonium salt solution, separating an ammoniated gel from the solution, said gel containing NH 4 + ions associated with the gel in an amount in excess of about 3% by weight expressed as NH 3 and sodium expressed as Na 2 O less than about 1% based on the gel on a volatile free basis and treating said ammoniated gel by exchanging the ammonium cation with a solution of alkaline earth metal salt at a pH of about 5.5 or less to reduce the NH 4 content of the gel to less than about 2.5% by weight expressed as NH 3 and the Na expressed as Na 2 O to less than about 1% by weight of the exchanged gel all on a volatile free basis and separating said exchanged gel.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
170 words
The process of producing a cracking catalyst which comprises forming a silica-alumina gel having a SiO 2 :Al 2 O 3 molar ratio from about 1.5 to 1.7 and associated with sodium ions and mixing said gel with an ammonium salt solution, separating an ammoniated gel from the solution, said gel containing NH 4 + ions associated with the gel in an amount in excess of about 3% by weight expressed as NH 3 and sodium expressed as Na 2 O less than about 1% based on the gel on a volatile free basis and treating said ammoniated gel by exchanging the ammonium cation with a solution of alkaline earth metal salt at a pH of about 5.5 or less to reduce the NH 4 content of the gel to less than about 2.5% by weight expressed as NH 3 and the Na expressed as Na 2 O to less than about 1% by weight of the exchanged gel all on a volatile free basis and separating said exchanged gel.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
116 words
A process for producing an active cracking catalyst which comprises exchanging an ammoniated silica-alumina gel containing NH 4 ions associated with the gel in an amount, in excess of 2.5% of the weight of the gel and Na expressed as Na 2 O less than about 0.5% by weight all on a volatile free basis, and having a SiO 2 :Al 2 O 3 molar ratio in the range of about 1.1 to about 2.6, with a solution containing an alkaline earth metal cation at a pH of about 5.5 or less, and separating a gel containing NH 4 ion in amount substantially less than about 2.5% expressed as NH 3 on a volatile free basis.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
116 words
A process for producing an active cracking catalyst which comprises exchanging an ammoniated silica-alumina gel containing NH 4 ions associated with the gel in an amount, in excess of 2.5% of the weight of the gel and Na expressed as Na 2 O less than about 0.5% by weight all on a volatile free basis, and having a SiO 2 :Al 2 O 3 molar ratio in the range of about 1.1 to about 2.6, with a solution containing an alkaline earth metal cation at a pH of about 5.5 or less, and separating a gel containing NH 4 ion in amount substantially less than about 2.5% expressed as NH 3 on a volatile free basis.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
