Abstract

Described are fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) compositions, methods of manufacture and use. FCC catalyst compositions comprise catalytic microspheres containing a zeolite, a non-zeolitic component, and a rare earth component. The microspheres are modified with phosphorus. The FCC catalyst composition can be used to crack hydrocarbon feeds, particularly resid feeds containing high V and Ni, resulting in lower hydrogen and coke yields.
