Abstract
Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) catalysts are composed of silica, alumi na, zeolites and clay. The identification of clay components (generall y kaolin or bentonite) present in the FCC catalysts is by XRD techniqu e and is difficult in the presence of zeolite peak interference. The c urrent method indicates the usefulness of the intercalational route to obviate the difficulty in unequivocal identification of the clay matr ix.
