Ni, V and Fe are the main contaminant metals that lead to the deactivation of the spent fluid catalytic cracking (SFCC) catalyst. In this work, the properties and distribution of Ni, V and Fe in the SFCC catalyst are investigated by employing EPMA-EDX, SEM and XPS techniques. The kinetics of Ni, V, Fe and Al leaching in organic and inorganic acids are studied under microwave heating. The EPMA-EDX results show that Fe and Ni mainly accumulate near the particle surface, while V eventually distributes throughout the catalyst particle. The XPS result suggests that the phase speciations of Ni in the SFCC catalyst are Ni, Ni2SiO4 and NiAl2O4, while Fe is present in a mixture of Fe3O4, Fe2O3 and Fe2SiO4. V is in the forms of V2O5 and VO2. Compared with oxalic acid, sulfuric acid has a better removal effect of contaminant metals, especially for Ni. The leaching kinetics results indicate that using either sulfuric acid or oxalic acid, the apparent activation energy of V is obviously lower than that of Fe and Ni, and the priority of the three contaminant metals in the removal effect is V &gt; Fe &gt; Ni. In addition, the leaching kinetics of contaminant metals in the microwave-assisted acid activation process are controlled by the surface chemical reaction control model.
