Abstract
A process for preparing a hydrocarbon conversion catalyst for use in a Fluid Catalyst Cracking (FCC) unit includes the steps of preparing a modified alumina-silica composite by reacting alumina with an acid to obtain an acidified alumina, aging the acidified alumina for from 0.25 to 60 hours, adding a silica source to the acidified alumina to obtain the composite; preparing a dispersed precursor slurry of the modified alumina-silica composite, and a rare earth exchanged USY zeolite (REUSY) containing at least one rare earth oxide present in an amount ranging from 3.8 to 4.0 wt %, and optionally kaolin clay; spray-drying the slurry to obtain spherical particles; and subjecting the spherical particles to calcination.
