Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
49 words
A process for the conversion of a hydrocarbon oil feed having a significant concentration of vanadium to lighter oil products which comprises contacting said feed under conversion conditions with a cracking catalyst containing a calcium-containing additive selected from the group consisting of calcium-titanium, calcium-zirconium, calcium-titanium-zirconium oxides and mixtures thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
49 words
A process for the conversion of a hydrocarbon oil feed having a significant concentration of vanadium to lighter oil products which comprises contacting said feed under conversion conditions with a cracking catalyst containing a calcium-containing additive selected from the group consisting of calcium-titanium, calcium-zirconium, calcium-titanium-zirconium oxides and mixtures thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the concentration of vanadium in said feed is at least 1.5 ppm.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the concentration of vanadium in said catalyst is at least 4000 ppm.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the concentration of vanadium on said catalyst exceeds 30,000 ppm.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
14 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said catalyst includes a catalytically inert porous material.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
26 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said calcium-containing additive comprises a perovskite selected from the group consisting of calcium titanate and calcium zirconate and mixtures thereof.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
26 words
The process of claim 6 wherein the concentration of said perovskite is in the range of 5 to 40 weight percent based on the total catalyst.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
26 words
The process of claim 6 wherein the concentration of said perovskite is in the range of 11 to 40 weight percent based on the total catalyst.
