Abstract

Fluid catalytic cracking process comprising the steps of (a) preparing a physical 5 mixture comprising (i) aluminium trihydrate and/or flash-calcined aluminium trihydrate and (ii) a divalent metal oxide, hydroxide, carbonate, or hydroxycarbonate, (b) shaping the physical mixture of step a) to form fluidisable particles, and (c) adding the fluidisable particles obtained from step b) or step c) to a fluid catalytic cracking unit. In this FCC process, active sites of the catalyst composition are formed in-situ, i.e. in the FCC unit, without requiring peptisation, aging, or calcination steps prior to the addition of the composition to the hydrocarbon conversion unit.
