Abstract
Metals such as nickel, vanadium and iron contaminating a cracking catalyst are passivated by contacting the cracking catalyst under elevated temperature conditions with tungsten and compounds of tungsten.
Claims6
A modified cracking catalyst obtained by contacting a zeolite-modified silica-alumina cracking catalyst on which a deactivating amount of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of nickel, iron, and vanadium has been deposited and at least one passivating material selected from tungsten and compounds of tungsten under elevated temperature conditions in an amount such as to add about 0.05 to 2 weight percent tungsten based on the weight of the untreated catalyst.
A modified cracking catalyst obtained by contacting a zeolite-modified silica-alumina cracking catalyst and at least one passivating compound containing tungsten and phosphorus, under elevated temperature conditions.
