The recycling of spent residue fluid catalytic cracking (RFCC) catalysts into adsorbents addresses both waste management and environmental pollution. Herein, we aimed to extract metals from spent RFCC catalysts, subject them to hydrothermal treatment and washing processes, and characterized by XRD,...
