Crystalline microporous oxide catalysts having increased lewis acidity and methods for the preparation thereof

摘要

A catalyst component, a catalyst, and a process for making the component and catalyst are disclosed herein. Also disclosed herein is a fluid catalytic cracking process for converting petroleum feedstocks to lower boiling products wherein the feedstock is contacted with the catalyst. The catalyst component is a crystalline microporous oxide catalyst to which a compound for promoting dehydrogenation and increasing lewis acidity is effectively added. This catalyst component ca be included in an inorganic oxide matrix material and used as a catalyst. Preferably, the compound for promoting dehydrogenation and increasing Lewis acidity is effectively added to a non-framework portion of the crystalline microporous oxide.
