Abstract
An improved hydrocarbon conversion catalyst is obtained through removal and modification by various means, of detrimental large and/or small particle fractions. Such modified fractions may be reused in the same or similar processes. The improved catalyst is advantageous to a wide range of hydrocarbon conversion processes.
Claims27
A process to make an improved spray-dried fluid catalyst by the removal of greater than fifty percent (50%) of particles above a threshold where such removal results in a fraction with improved accessibility or diffusion.
A process to make an improved spray-dried fluid catalyst by the removal of greater than fifty percent (50%) of particles below a minimum threshold and greater than fifty percent (50%) of particles above a maximum threshold, to create a catalyst with improved diffusion constraint and in which most particles that are insufficiently retained by commercial cyclones have been removed.
A process to make an improved catalyst in which the catalyst is split by use of physical screening process.
A process to make an improved catalyst in which the catalyst is first separated via air classification and then further separated into one or more fractions via a physical screening process.
An improved catalyst composition created by spray-draying a mixture of components and removing greater than 50% of the particles below a minimum threshold and greater than 50% of particles above a maximum threshold.
