An improved moving bed continuous catalytic cracking process for cracking hydrocarbon feedstocks, such as gas oil, in the absence of added hydrogen, which includes the use of a minute amount of dispersed platinum supported directly on a cracking catalyst. The trace of platinum induces a substantial increase in the heat efficiency with which coke on catalyst is converted to CO2 in the regenerator section with minimal or no detriment to the cracking reaction.

A method for increasing the reflexive heating of a catalyst in the regenerator section of a moving bed catalytic cracking apparatus with minimal or no detriment to cracking operation, said apparatus comprising a cracking section operating in the absence of added hydrogen, a regeneration section comprising two regeneration zones wherein cracking apparatus containing a circulating inventory of inorganic porous acidic solid cracking catalyst comprising a zeolite component consisting essentially of crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite having a pore diameter of 6 to 15 angstroms, which method comprises circulating with said inventory a minute amount of at least one metal of the group consisting of platinum, palladium, iridium, osmium, rhodium, ruthenium,, and rhenium, said metal being dispersed on said cracking catalyst and supported directly thereon by adding said metal to an existing catalyst, said amount being effective to convert to CO2 at least about 25% of the CO formed in one of said regeneration zones and substantially ineffective for converting to CO2 the CO formed in the other said regeneration zone and insufficient to produce more dry gas in said cracking section than is provided by 0.2 wt% chromia. The method of claim 1 wherein said metal is platinum. The method described in claim 1 wherein said cracking catalyst contains a measurable amount less than 0.1 wt.% of chromia and said metal is platinum.
