Abstract	Fluid catalytic cracking is a major processes responsible for refinery sulfur emissions. Researchers studied the effect of vanadium loading over an alumina previously modified with potassium for sulfur mitigation. Vanadium is a key variable. Even at very low amounts, all reaction steps involved in such process were improved.
