Description:

After the sweeping reduction of Chinese export quotas, rare earth metals experienced price hyperinflation in the range of 2700% between August 2010 and July 2011. FCC catalyst has experienced unprecedented inflation as a result. Rare earth is used to stabilize FCC catalyst zeolite in order to provide high FCC catalyst activity, liquid selectivities and superior coke selectivity. Removing rare earth from FCC catalyst will provide relief in catalyst expenses; however, it is not an economical solution in most FCC operations due to a lower activity and product value.
