Catalysts over steam activated zeolite catalyst

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6774572

This patent describes a process for catalytically cracking a hydrocarbon feedstock to a conversion product comprising hydrocarbon compounds of lower molecular weight than the feedstock hydrocarbon compounds, which process comprises contacting the feedstock at cracking conditions with a catalyst composition prepared by the method which comprises forming a composite of a crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite having a silica:alumina ratio of at least about 250:1 and a Constraint Index from 1 to 12, a binder that contains alumina, and water, and contacting the composite with steam for at least one hour by heating the composite in the presence of water at a temperature from about 300/sup 0/ to 500/sup 0/C such that the pressure during steaming ranging between 100 to 500 kPa, to enhance the activity of the catalyst.
