Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim 47 words
A process for fluid catalytic cracking metal-containing petrolum feed in the presence of a fluid cracking catalyst comprising contacting the feed at fluid catalytic cracking conditions with a catalyst comprising a zeolitic crystalline aluminosilicate, sepiolite and a martix material, wherein the sepiolite is present in non-dispersed form.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 47 words
A process for fluid catalytic cracking metal-containing petrolum feed in the presence of a fluid cracking catalyst comprising contacting the feed at fluid catalytic cracking conditions with a catalyst comprising a zeolitic crystalline aluminosilicate, sepiolite and a martix material, wherein the sepiolite is present in non-dispersed form.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 58 words
A process according to claim 1, wherein the cracking catalyst comprises about 5 to about 50 percent by weight of said zeolitic crystalline aluminosilicate and about 5 to about 70 percent by weight of said non-dispersed sepiolite, which two components are embedded in about 10 to about 90 percent by weight of one and the same matrix material.
