We investigate the aluminum and silicon chemistry of Fresh and industrially deactivated Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) particles at an individual zeolite domain scale with Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscopy. This method allows us to obtain a spatial and temporal understanding of zeolite deactivation and dealumination in FCC particles.
