Abstract:
There is provided a method for preparing a zeolite other than ZSM-5 from a reaction mixture comprising a mixed organic directing agent which is a combination of (a) an organic nitrogen containing compound such as an amine or a quaternary ammonium compound and (b) an alcohol and/or diol. Particular zeolites synthesized by this method include ZSM-22 and ZSM-23. The use of an alcohol or a diol may inhibit the coformation of ZSM-5. Especially when used to prepare ZSM-23, this method enables the preparation of more catalytically active ZSM-23 of reduced crystallite size and also enables the use of lower crystallization temperatures. Particular mixed organic directing agents for the preparation of ZSM-23 are combination of (a) pyrrolidine and (b) ethanol or ethylene glycol. Other factors which enhance the activity of ZSM-23 include the use of the following in the reaction mixtures for preparing ZSM-23: potassium ions; precipitated silica particles as sources of silica; and spray dried precipitated silica/alumina particles as sources of silica and alumina. The catalytic stability of alumina bound ZSM-23 catalysts is especially enhanced by steaming. Particular reactions which can be catalyzed by ZSM-23 made according to methods described herein include the dealkylation of ethylbenzene and the alkylation of benzene with ethylene.
Abstract:
The invention describes the preparation of novel cracking catalysts by surface coating conventional cracking catalysts with passivators that act as metals traps. The coating of passivators is weakly bound to the catalyst so as to permit the coating to continuously attrit off during catalytic cracking. The continuous flaking off of the coating exposes a new surface of the coating.
Abstract:
A method is provided for converting feedstock comprising paraffins by selective oxidative coupling to product comprising higher hydrocarbons including dimers of said feedstock paraffins which comprises contacting said feedstock with a catalyst composition comprising a thermally stable layered metal chalcogenide having adjacent layers separated by chalcogenide pillars, and an alkali metal.
Abstract:
A method is provided for controlling the catalytic activity of a large pore molecular sieve which contains framework boron. Control is effected by treatment with a solution of a metal salt under conditions such that metal is incorporated into the molecular sieve framework.
Abstract:
A surface-inactive shape selective metallosilicate catalyst, useful for the conversion of lower molecular weight olefins to liquid hydrocarbons such as gasoline, distillate, and high viscosity lube oils, is prepared by a process comprising forming a silica shell on a metallosilicate core by crystallizing silica in the presence of fluoride ion onto the surface of the core.
Abstract:
Catalysts of improved strength and activity are formed by compositing a clay matrixing material with a zeolite which contains cations of a Group IB metal, preferably a monovalent metal such as silver. The presence of the cations gives the zeolite improved resistance to the high sintering temperatures necessary to confer adequate strength upon the resulting catalyst.
Abstract:
Octane and total yield improvement in catalytic cracking of petroleum fractions under cracking conditions can be obtained by adding to conventional cracking catalysts small amounts of an additive catalyst comprising a class of zeolites characterized by a silica to alumina mole ratio greater than 5 and a Constraint Index of 1 to 12 wherein the zeolite additive catalyst is prepared via in-situ crystallization of preformed aggregates.
