Abstract
One exemplary embodiment can be a process for making a catalyst including an effective amount of iron for catalyzing one or more reactions in a hydrocarbon conversion system. The process can include grinding and coating the particles. The ground particles can have an effective amount of iron, and substantially all the particles may have a maximum dimension no larger than about 130 microns. The coating can have an effective amount of one or more hydrocarbons to provide the catalyst with improved flowability.
Claims18
A process for making a catalyst comprising a catalytically effective amount of one or more iron compounds for catalyzing one or more reactions in a hydrocarbon cracking system, comprising:
- A) grinding particles comprising the catalyst so substantially all the particles have a maximum dimension no larger than about 130 microns, said particles having hydrophilic properties;
- and
- B) coating the particles with a hardened layer of effective amount of one or more hydrocarbons to reduce the hydrophilic properties of the particles.
A process for making a catalyst comprising a catalytically effective amount of one or more iron compounds for catalyzing one or more reactions in a hydrocarbon cracking system, comprising:
- A) grinding particles comprising the catalyst so substantially all the particles have a maximum dimension no larger than about 130 microns;
- and
- B) coating the particles with a hardened layer of effective amount of one or more of a pitch, a deasphalted oil, a petroleum resin, and a low molecular weight polymer to reduce the hydrophilic properties of the particles.
