Oxidic composition consisting essentially of oxidic forms of a first metal, a second metal, and optionally a third metal, the first metal being either Fe or Zn and being present in the composition in an amount of 5-80 wt%, the second metal being Al and being present in the composition in an amount of 5-80 wt%, the third metal being selected from the group consisting of Mo, W, Ce, and V, and being present in an amount of 0-17 wt% - all weight percentages calculated as oxides and based on the weight of the oxidic composition, the oxidic composition being obtainable by (a) preparing a physical mixture comprising solid compounds of the first, the second, and the optional third metal, (b) optionally aging the physical mixture, without anionic clay being formed, and (c ) calcining the mixture. This composition is suitable for use in FCC processes for the reduction of SOx emissions from the regenerator and for the production of sulphur-lean fuels and has only a minimised influence on the zeolite's hydrothermal stability. |
