To enhance the resistance of catalytic cracking catalysts to iron contamination,a metal⁃trapping additive named CatClean was developed using magnesium oxide(MgO),activated alumina(Al2O3),and lanthanum nitrate[La(NO3)3] as raw materials via a spray drying method.The resulting CatClean was primarily consist of 60% MgO and 30% La2O3,with a wear index of 1.3%/h.Iron contamination was introduced through an impregnation method,and the effects of CatClean on catalyst performance were systematically investigated using XRD,XPS,NH3-TPD,H2-TPR,and EDX-Mapping techniques.The results indicated that iron contamination significantly reduced the surface area of the catalytic cracking catalyst.Under high⁃temperature hydrothermal conditions,La2O3 in CatClean reacted with iron to form a stable LaFeO3 phase,effectively mitigating the adverse effects of iron:No formation of MgFe2O4 was detected.EDX-Mapping further revealed that iron species could migrate between catalyst and CatClean particles and be effectively captured.Performance evaluations demonstrated that at an iron contamination level of 1.0%,the addition of CatClean reduced the coke yield by 0.78%~0.98%,the dry gas yield by 0.30%~0.33%,and increased the total liquid yield by 0.91%~0.95%,without significantly affecting conversion.These findings confirmed that CatClean significantly reduced the selectivity toward undesired by⁃products and enhanced the catalyst′s resistance to iron contamination.
