Vanadium passivation in a hydrocarbon catalytic cracking process

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6180064
This patent describes a process for the catalytic cracking of a vanadium-containing hydrocarbon charge stock. It comprises contacting the charge stock under catalytic cracking conditions with the catalyst composition comprising a crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite, a matrix material, and from 5 to 40 weight percent, based on the total catalyst composition, of a vanadium passivator having a passivation factor of at least 2.0, the anion of the vanadium passivator is of a weak non-volatile acid having a pKa greater than 5 and the cation is a Group IIA metal having an atomic number of greater than 20.
