Abstract: Disclosed herein is a fluid catalytic cracking catalyst comprising an in-situ crystallized zeolite material and a matrix material. In at least one embodiment, the deactivated catalyst has a ratio of zeolite surface area to matrix surface area (Z/M) of less than about 1, and a unit cell size of at least about 24.3 ?.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media are disclosed for characterizing the porosity of a microspheric material, training a classifier model for classifying spatially-contiguous image regions of backscatter electron scanning electron microscopy (BSE-SEM) images of a microspheric material according to the particle composition of the image regions, and characterizing the elemental composition of a microspheric material. The methods include: receiving image data representative of a microscopic images of a sample microspheric material; segmenting the image data into a plurality of spatially-contiguous image regions; classifying, by a trained machine-learning model, each of the plurality of spatially-contiguous image regions; and characterizing the microspheric material. The disclosure also relates to compositions for use as an FCC catalyst comprising microspheres which comprise alumina and/or clay and/or a zeolite.
