Abstract: A novel kaolinic FCC additive prepared by in-situ hydrothermal crystallization for resisting heavy metal and reducing coke yield has been studied. In the lab testing the new additive exhibit excellent selectivity and stability in the presence of contaminant metals. Commerical experience confirms these lab results.
