Abstract:
Methods for preparing bound non-acidic germanium zeolite catalysts that are ion-exchanged with cesium and impregnated with platinum are disclosed. The catalysts can be used in methods for aromatizing naphtha.
Abstract:
A process for preparing a naphtha reforming catalyst has been developed. The process involves the use of a chelating ligand such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). The aqueous solution of the chelating ligand and a tin compound is used to impregnate a support, e.g., alumina extrudates. A platinum-group metal is also an essential component of the catalyst. Rhenium may also be a component. A reforming process using the catalyst has enhanced yield, activity, and stability for conversion of naphtha into valuable gasoline and aromatic products.

Abstract:
A method for isomerization of a hydrocarbon which comprises providing a solid acid catalyst comprising a carrier containing a part comprising zirconia and/or hydrated zirconia and sulfuric acid carried thereon, and contacting the catalyst with a hydrocarbon material having a water content of 5 ppm by weight or less, preferably 1 ppm or less, to thereby produce isomerized hydrocarbons; and a system for practicing the method. The isomerization method does not need the introduction of a chlorine-containing compound during the course of isomerization and uses a catalyst having high activity. The isomerization system comprises a dehydrating apparatus for the material, a vessel for catalytic reaction filled with the above catalyst, a separator for separating a reaction product into the hydrogen to be recycled and a hydrocarbon product, and a compressor which compresses the recycle hydrogen to feed it to the vessel for catalytic reaction.
Abstract:
A method for hydroisomerizing a waxy feed to favor one of VI or yield is described. The method uses a unitized pellet powder catalyst comprising a metal hydrogeneration component, a first catalytic component selected from 8, 10 and 12 ring molecular sieves and mixtures thereof, and a second amorphous isomerization component which is an amorphous inorganic oxide. Importantly, the ratio of feed and second components are present in a predetermined ratio to provide a preselected acidity favoring one of VI or yield resulting from the hydroisomerization.
Abstract:
Waxy feeds are converted to a basestock using a unitized mixed powdered pellet catalyst comprising a metal hydrogenation component on a support having a first dewaxing component and a second isomerization component, wherein the first component is selected from 10 and 12 ring molecular sieves and mixtures thereof and the second component is an amorphous inorganic oxide. The first and second components are present in a ratio sufficient to promote wax isomerization and naphthene distractions without substantial decrease in VI.
