<p>A method for regenerating a coke-contaminated cracking catalyst with the simultaneous carefully controlled catalyzed combustion of CO to CO2 within a regeneration zone to produce regenerated catalyst and flue gas. Novel features of the method include adding to the regeneration zone, independently of the cracking catalyst, a supported CO oxidation promoter and combusting CO to CO2 in the presence of the promoter and regenerated catalyst. A supported oxidation promoter may be added to the regeneration zone in amounts to control the CO concentration in the flue gas, a regeneration zone temperature, or the residual carbon concentration on regenerated catalyst.</p> |
