Abstract
Abstract A catalytic process is provided for cracking a hydrocarbon charge stock containing aromatic nuclei components and non-aromatic nuclei components which involves contacting such chargestock with a catalyst composition having an alkali metal content less than about 1.5 weight percent and containing a mixture of faujasite and mordenite in which contacting takes place under catalytic cracking conditions of such severity that the conversion level exceeds that attributable to conversion of the non-aromatic nuclei portion of the chargestock. Under such conditions, the coke yield is substantially lower than would be obtained with the same catalyst in the absence of mordenite at the same level of conversion.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
175 words
A process for cracking a hydrocarbon chargestock containing aromatic nuclei components and non-aromatic nuclei components which comprises contacting said chargestock with a catalyst composition: (1) characterized by an alkali metal content of less than about 1.5 weight percent and (2) comprising a mixture of faujasite and mordenite in which the weight ratio of faujasite to mordenite is within the approximate range of 30:1 to 1:5 said contacting taking place under catalytic cracking conditions, including a temperature in the range of about 900° to about 1200° F., a pressure between about atmospheric and about 100 psig, an oil contact time between about 0.5 second and about 15 minutes and a catalyst to oil ratio of between about 1 and about 20, the activity of said catalyst and said conditions being controlled such that severity of the conversion level exceeds that attributable to conversion of the non-aromatic nuclei portion of said charge stock with a resultant coke yield lower than that obtainable with the same catalyst in the absence of mordenite at the same level of conversion.
