Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
117 words
In the process for the catalytic cracking of gas oil to produce products boiling in the naphtha and distillate fuel range wherein said gas oil is contacted at elevated temperatures over a catalyst comprising a zeolite, the improvement which comprises utilizing as a catalyst a composition comprising a matrix and a crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite, said crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite being characterized by (1) a framework silica-to-alumina ratio greater than ˜100; (2) a pore size greater than about at least 8 Angstrom units; (3) an alpha value no greater than 3 as a result of said zeolite having had its activity reduced by treatment of the same with alkali metal cations at a pH of from 4 to 6.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
