The present invention relates to a process for the conversion of plant oils, animal fats, waste food oils and carboxylic acids into renewable liquid fuels, such as bio-naphtha, bioQAV and renewable diesel, for use in combination with fossil fuels. The process is composed of two steps: hydrotreatment and hydrocracking. The effluent from the hydrotreatment step contains aromatics, olefins and compounds resulting from the polymerization of esters and acids. This is due to the use of partially reduced catalysts without the injection of a sulfiding agent and allows for the production of bioQAV of suitable quality for use in combination with fossil kerosene. Concurrently, the process generates, in addition to products in the distillation range of naphtha, kerosene and diesel, high molecular weight linear paraffins (up to 40 carbon atoms).

The present invention relates to a hybrid iron nanoparticle catalyst comprising: i) 1 to 50 wt. % nanoparticles comprising iron and at least one of a metal M selected from the group consisting of alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, transition metals of groups 3 to 7 and 9 to 11 of the Periodic Table of Elements, lanthanides and combinations of M thereof; and ii) 50 to 99 wt. % of an aluminosilicate or silicoaluminophosphate zeolite, based on the total weight of the catalyst, wherein said nanoparticle has a diameter of about 2 to 50 nm. The present invention also relates to a method of preparing the hybrid iron nanoparticle catalyst and a process for the production of light olefins using the hybrid iron nanoparticle catalyst.

According to one or more embodiments described herein, a method for cracking a hydrocarbon oil may include contacting the hydrocarbon oil with a fluidized cracking catalyst including an ultra-stable Y-type zeolite in a fluidized catalytic cracking unit to produce light olefins, gasoline fuel, and coke. At least 99 wt. % of the hydrocarbon oil may have a boiling point greater than 350° C. The ultra-stable Y-type zeolite may be a framework-substituted zeolite in which a part of aluminum atoms constituting a zeolite framework thereof is substituted with 0.1-5 mass % zirconium atoms and 0.1-5 mass % titanium ions on an oxide basis. The fluidized cracking catalyst may include from 3.5 wt. % to 10 wt. % of one or more Group 7 metal oxides.

The process comprises hydrocracking a hydrocarbon feed in a single stage. The catalyst comprises a base impregnated with metals from Group 6 and Groups 8 through 10 of the Periodic Table, as well as citric acid. The base of the catalyst used in the present hydrocracking process comprises alumina, an amorphous silica-alumina (ASA) material, a USY zeolite, and a beta zeolite.

Catalyst particles comprising one or more active metal components and methods for manufacturing such catalyst particles are provided. The particles are a composite of a granulating agent or binder material such as an inorganic oxide, and an ultra-stable Y (hereafter “USY”) zeolite in which some of the aluminum atoms in the framework are substituted with zirconium atoms and/or titanium atoms and/or hafnium atoms. The one or more active phase components are incorporated prior to mixing the binder with the post-framework modified USY zeolite, extruding the resulting composite mixture, and forming the catalyst particles. The one or more active phase components are incorporated in the post-framework modified USY zeolite prior to forming the catalyst particles.
