Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim 119 words
A process for improving the metals resistance of a zeolite-containing cracking catalyst to have deposited thereon at least one contaminant selected from the group consisting of nickel, vanadium and iron from the cracking of a hydrocarbon feed without incorporating with said cracking catalyst antimony or a compound thereof, said process comprising contacting said zeolite-containing cracking catalyst with at least one treating agent composition represented by the formula ##STR3## wherein R is hydrocarbyl having from 1 to 24 carbon atoms, wherein each X is selected from the group consisting of oxygen and sulfur and at least one X is sulfur, and wherein n is 2 to 4, so as to impart to said cracking catalyst a passivating amount of tin.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 119 words
A process for improving the metals resistance of a zeolite-containing cracking catalyst to have deposited thereon at least one contaminant selected from the group consisting of nickel, vanadium and iron from the cracking of a hydrocarbon feed without incorporating with said cracking catalyst antimony or a compound thereof, said process comprising contacting said zeolite-containing cracking catalyst with at least one treating agent composition represented by the formula ##STR3## wherein R is hydrocarbyl having from 1 to 24 carbon atoms, wherein each X is selected from the group consisting of oxygen and sulfur and at least one X is sulfur, and wherein n is 2 to 4, so as to impart to said cracking catalyst a passivating amount of tin.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 42 words
A process as in claim 1 wherein said treating agent is contacted with said cracking catalyst so as to impart to said cracking catalyst a tin concentration of from about 0.0001 to about 4 percent by weight of the contacted cracking catalyst.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 42 words
A process as in claim 1 wherein said treating agent is contacted with said cracking catalyst so as to impart to said cracking catalyst a tin concentration of from about 0.005 to about 1 percent by weight of the contacted cracking catalyst.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 42 words
A process as in claim 1 wherein said treating agent is contacted with said cracking catalyst so as to impart to said cracking catalyst a tin concentration of from about 0.01 to about 0.15 percent by weight of the contacted cracking catalyst.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 18 words
A process as in claim 1 wherein said cracking catalyst is impregnated with a solution of stannic di-n-propyldithiophosphate.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 106 words
A process for increasing the selectivity of a cracking catalyst for gasoline production in the essential absence of antimony comprising contacting a zeolite-containing cracking catalyst having deposited thereon from the cracking of a hydrocarbon feedstock at least one contaminant selected from the group consisting of nickel, vanadium and iron with at least one treating agent composition represented by the formula ##STR4## wherein each R is hydrocarbyl having from 1 to about 24 carbon atoms and n is 2 or 4 so as to impart to said cracking catalyst a tin concentration of from about 0.005 to about 1 percent by weight of the contacted cracking catalyst.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 106 words
A process for increasing the selectivity of a cracking catalyst for gasoline production in the essential absence of antimony comprising contacting a zeolite-containing cracking catalyst having deposited thereon from the cracking of a hydrocarbon feedstock at least one contaminant selected from the group consisting of nickel, vanadium and iron with at least one treating agent composition represented by the formula ##STR4## wherein each R is hydrocarbyl having from 1 to about 24 carbon atoms and n is 2 or 4 so as to impart to said cracking catalyst a tin concentration of from about 0.005 to about 1 percent by weight of the contacted cracking catalyst.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 45 words
A process as in claim 6 wherein a sufficient amount of said composition is contacted with said cracking catalyst so as to impart to said cracking catalyst a tin concentration of from about 0.01 to about 0.15 percent by weight of the contacted cracking catalyst.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 45 words
A process as in claim 7 wherein n equals 2 and R is selected from the group consisting of ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, amyl, n-hexyl, sec-hexyl, n-heptyl, n-octyl, isooctyl, tert-octyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, dimethylcyclohexyl, diethylcyclohexyl, phenyltolyl, cresyl, ethylphenyl, butylphenyl, amylphenyl, octylphenyl and vinylphenyl.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 45 words
A process as in claim 7 wherein n equals 4 and R is selected from the group consisting of ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, b-butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, amyl, n-hexyl, sec-hexyl, n-heptyl, n-octyl, isooctyl, tery-octyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, dimethylcyclohexyl, diethylcyclohexyl, phenyltoly, cresyl, ethylphenyl, butylphenyl, amylphenyl, octylphenyl and vinylphenyl.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 24 words
A process as in claim 7 wherein stannic di-n-propyldithiophosphate is contacted with said cracking catalyst under conditions employed for the catalytic cracking of hydrocarbons.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 24 words
A process as in claim 7 wherein stannous di-n-propyldithiophosphate is contacted with said cracking catalyst under conditions employed for the catalytic cracking of hydrocarbons.
