Rare-earth-containing ultrastable Y zeolite (ReUSY) was modified by oxalic acid solution leaching treatment and applied in industrial units for catalytic olefin removal from aromatic hydrocarbons. The porous structure and amount of acidity of the modified ReUSY (denoted as ReUSY- x , where x indicated the amount of oxalic acid in solution) could be tuned by different concentrations of oxalic acid solution, and the ReUSY- x samples exhibited different catalytic performances. Based on the best catalytic performance of ReUSY-25, an industrial catalyst was prepared and applied in industrial units for catalytic olefin removal. The industrial catalyst exhibited excellent activity and regeneration stability with a long lifetime of about 2 years, which was about 13 times longer than that of activated clay.
