Abstract
Carbon monoxide and sulfur oxides are removed from flue gas produced in a catalyst regenerator in an FCC system and sulfur from the flue gas is shifted to form hydrogen sulfide, which is recovered in the gases removed from the cracking reactor in the system by introducing sufficient molecular oxygen into the catalyst regenerator to provide an atmosphere therein having a molecular oxygen concentration of at least 0.1 volume percent, reacting carbon monoxide in the regenerator flue gas with oxygen in contact with a particulate carbon monoxide combustion promoter physically admixed with the cracking catalyst, reacting sulfur oxides in the regenerator flue gas with silica-free alumina included as a discrete phase in the FCC catalyst to form a sulfur-containing solid in the catalyst, and forming hydrogen sulfide in the cracking reactor by contacting the sulfur-containing solid with the hydrocarbon feed.
