Research and Development of Novel Heavy Oil Catalytic Cracking Catalyst RCC-1

A novel heavy oil catalytic cracking catalyst RCC-1 was developed by using the ultra-stable zeolite, which was hydrothermally treated and modiifed through cleaning its pores to serve as the active component. The chemical composi-tion and physicochemical properties of RCC-1 catalyst were studied by XRF, BET, pore volume analysis, attrition index analysis, and particle size distribution determination methods, and its catalytic cracking performance was also evaluated by a microreactor for light oil cracking and the ACE device. The test results showed that the new type of heavy oil catalytic cracking catalyst RCC-1 had good physicochemical properties and heavy oil cracking ability, strong anti-metallic contami-nation capability, good product distribution, good coke selectivity and gasoline selectivity, and excellent reduction of gaso-line oleifn content characteristics.
