Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to a catalyst suitable for use in a fluid catalytic process and a method of using the catalyst on hydrocarbons containing one or more poison metal of vanadium or nickel to convert the hydrocarbons to lower boiling fractions. The catalyst contains a particulate and substantially water-insoluble strontium compound (in addition to a conventional zeolite and catalyst matrix) which reacts with and traps the metal poison to preserve the structure of the zeolite and, in addition, lowers the coke make and hydrogen production.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
97 words
A process for converting a hydrocarbon oil containing at least one vanadium-containing compound, nickel-containing compound, or mixture thereof to lower boiling hydrocarbon products which comprises contacting the oil at conversion conditions with a cracking catalyst containing (a) a zeolitic material; (b) a matrix material; and (c) strontium carbonate dispersed in the matrix as discrete particles, wherein strontium carbonate is present in an amount sufficient to form a product having a melting point greater than about 670° C. when the carbonate is reacted with the vanadium-containing compound, nickel-containing compound, or mixture thereof, at fluid catalytic cracking regenerator temperatures.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
97 words
A process for converting a hydrocarbon oil containing at least one vanadium-containing compound, nickel-containing compound, or mixture thereof to lower boiling hydrocarbon products which comprises contacting the oil at conversion conditions with a cracking catalyst containing (a) a zeolitic material; (b) a matrix material; and (c) strontium carbonate dispersed in the matrix as discrete particles, wherein strontium carbonate is present in an amount sufficient to form a product having a melting point greater than about 670° C. when the carbonate is reacted with the vanadium-containing compound, nickel-containing compound, or mixture thereof, at fluid catalytic cracking regenerator temperatures.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
12 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the zeolitic material is an aluminosilicate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
The process of claim 2 wherein the zeolitic material is selected from faujasite and a synthetic zeolite having the structure of zeolite Y.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
