Abstract: A process is provided for upgrading a renewable feedstock. The process includes introducing the renewable feedstock into a fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) reactor unit operating under catalytic cracking conditions and comprising a circulating inventory of an equilibrium catalyst composition; removing a portion of the equilibrium catalyst inventory from the FCC reactor unit while replacing all the equilibrium catalyst removed from the unit with a spent catalyst to obtain a composite circulating catalyst within the FCC reactor unit; and contacting the composite circulating catalyst with the renewable feedstock in the FCC reactor unit under a steady state environment to provide a product stream comprising cracked products.

Abstract: A spent metal contaminated zeolite-containing catalytic cracking catalyst composition is reactivated by a process which comprises contacting with (a) dissolved lactic acid and either (b1) at least one dissolved calcium compound or, alternatively, (b2) at least one dissolved tin compound and at least one dissolved phosphorus compound.

Abstract: A spent metal-contaminated zeolite-containing catalytic cracking catalyst is reactivated by a process which comprises contacting the spent catalyst with at least one dissolved carboxylic acid and at least one antimony compound.

Abstract: A spent metal contaminated zeolite-containing catalytic cracking catalyst composition is reactivated by a process which comprises contacting with an aqueous solution of HC1 and/or HNO.sub.3 and/or H.sub.2 SO.sub.4. The thus reactivated catalyst composition can be employed in a catalytic cracking process.

Abstract: A spent metal contaminated zeolite-containing catalytic cracking catalyst composition is reactivated by a process which comprises contacting with an aqueous solution of at least one carboxylic acid (preferably at least one of formic acid, acetic acid, citric acid and lactic acid). The thus reactivated catalyst composition can be employed in a catalytic cracking process.

Abstract: A process for reactivating a spent, metal-contaminated zeolite-containing catalytic cracking catalyst composition comprises partially demetallizing (preferably by chlorinating and washing) the spent catalytic cracking catalyst composition, and thereafter contacting it with at least one fluorine compound (preferably NH.sub.4 F) and at least one antimony compound. The thus reactivated catalytic cracking catalyst composition is employed in a catalytic cracking process.

Abstract: A process for reactivating a spent, metal-contaminated zeolite-containing cracking catalyst composition comprises the sequential steps of contacting the catalyst composition with dissolved ammonium compound (preferably NH.sub.4 NO.sub.3), contacting with a fluorine compound (preferably NH.sub.4 F), and treatment with a passivating agent (preferably Mg, Ca, B, A, P and/or Sb). The reactivated cracking catalyst obtained by this reactivation process is employed in a catalytic cracking process.

Abstract: A process for reactivating a spent, metal-contaminated zeolite-containing cracking catalyst composition comprises the substantially simultaneous contacting with a fluorine compound (preferably HH.sub.4 F) and a metals passivating agent (preferably a compound of Sb or Ca). The thus reactivated cracking catalyst composition is employed in a catalytic cracking process.

Abstract: A process for reactivating a spent, metal-contaminated zeolite-containing catalytic cracking catalyst composition comprises contacting the spent catalyst composition with an acidified aqueous NH.sub.4 NO.sub.3 solution, thereafter with a suitable fluorine compound (preferably dissolved NH.sub.4 F), and, optionally, additionally with an antimony compound. The thus prepared reactivated cracking catalyst composition is used in a process for catalytically cracking a liquid hydrocarbon-containing feed.
