Abstract
Abstract In removing sulfur oxides from flue gas in a cracking catalyst regenerator in the presence of a silica-containing particulate catalyst by reacting the sulfur oxides with alumina in a particulate solid other than the catalyst, activity loss in the alumina as a result of migration of silica from the catalyst particles to the alumina-containing particles is lessened by using alumina-containing particles which contain sodium, manganese or phosphorus.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
134 words
A composition of matter for use in a process for cracking hydrocarbons in the absence of externally supplied molecular hydrogen, comprising: from 75 to 99 weight percent of an acidic particulate cracking catalyst including at least 20 weight percent of a silicon component, calculated as silica and excluding silicon in the form of zeolitic crystalline alumino-silicate; and from 1 to 25 weight percent of a particulate solid including at least 75 weight percent alumina and from 100 parts per million, by weight, to 1.0 weight percent, relative to the amount of alumina in said particulate solid and calculated on an elemental basis, of a promoter comprising at least one element or compound of an element selected from sodium, manganese and phosphorus, said particulate solid containing less than 20 weight percent silicon, calculated as silica.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
134 words
A composition of matter for use in a process for cracking hydrocarbons in the absence of externally supplied molecular hydrogen, comprising: from 75 to 99 weight percent of an acidic particulate cracking catalyst including at least 20 weight percent of a silicon component, calculated as silica and excluding silicon in the form of zeolitic crystalline alumino-silicate; and from 1 to 25 weight percent of a particulate solid including at least 75 weight percent alumina and from 100 parts per million, by weight, to 1.0 weight percent, relative to the amount of alumina in said particulate solid and calculated on an elemental basis, of a promoter comprising at least one element or compound of an element selected from sodium, manganese and phosphorus, said particulate solid containing less than 20 weight percent silicon, calculated as silica.
