ResumoVanadium interactions with model fluid cracking catalysts and vanadium passivation with tin have been monitored by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Model systems such as EuY, amorphous aluminosilicate gels, and EuY-gel mixtures have been investigated. Vanadium, introduced in the form of vanadyl naphthenate, is stabilized on the zeolite primarily as octahedrally coordinated VO2+ cations. In contrast, the gel preferentially sorbs vanadium where it is stabilized mainly in the form of V2O5. The presence of tin on the zeolite favors oxidation of VO2+ to V5+ and the generation of Sn4+OV5+ species during steaming. Formation of europium orthovanadate (EuVO4) is promoted by the presence of excess tin. Removal of Eu3+ ions from the zeolite lattice in the form of vanadates contributes to zeolite destabilization; thus excess tin is to be avoided.
