Abstract:
The present invention is directed to an improved hydrocracking catalyst containing a amorphous silica-alumina (ASA) base and alumina support. The ASA base is characterized as having a high nanopore volume and low particle density. The alumina support is characterized as having a high nanopore volume. Hydrocracking catalysts employing the combination high nanopore volume ASA base and alumina support exhibit improved hydrogen efficiency, and greater product yield and quality, as compared to hydrocracking catalysts containing conventional ASA base and alumina components.

An oxidation catalyst composite, methods, and systems for the treatment of exhaust gas emissions from a diesel engine are described. More particularly, an oxidation catalyst composite including a zoned diesel oxidation catalyst with a first washcoat zone with a Pt/Pd ratio that is less than 3:1 and a PGM loading at least twice that of a second washcoat zone.
Abstract:
A stacked bed catalyst system comprising at least one first catalyst selected from conventional hydrotreating catalyst having an average pore diameter of greater than about 10 nm and at least one second catalyst comprising a bulk metal hydrotreating catalyst comprised of at least one Group VIII non-noble metal and at least one Group VIB metal and optionally a binder material.
Abstract:
An oxidation catalyst is prepared by pyrolyzing a source of iron and a source of nitrogen on a carbon support. Preferably, a noble metal is deposited over the modified support which comprises iron and nitrogen bound to the carbon support. The catalyst is effective for oxidation reactions such as the oxidative cleavage of tertiary amines to produce secondary amines, especially the oxidation of N-(phosphonomethyl)iminodiacetic acid to N-(phosphonomethyl)-glycine.
Abstract:
A photocatalytic functional film has a structure of a substrate, a barrier layer and a photocatalytic layer stacked one on another. The barrier layer is an amorphous TiO 2 film, the photocatalyst layer comprises an amorphous TiO 2 film, and particles of visible light responsive photocatalytic material formed on the surface of the amorphous TiO 2 film. A method for producing a photocatalytic functional film includes: adding an alcohol solvent and an acid to a titanium precursor to obtain a TiO 2 amorphous sol by dehydration and de-alcoholization reaction; applying and drying the TiO 2 amorphous sol on a substrate to form a barrier layer; and applying and drying a composition formed by mixing particles of visible light responsive photocatalyst material with the TiO 2 amorphous sol on the barrier layer, to form a photocatalyst layer.
