Abstract:
A method of synthesizing an olefin epoxidation catalyst comprises the step of treating a porous crystalline aluminosilicate material having an X-ray diffraction pattern including d-spacing maxima at 12.4.+-.0.25, 6.9.+-.0.15, 3.57.+-.0.07 and 3.42.+-.0.07 Angstrom, such as MCM-22, with a dealuminating agent under conditions effective to remove framework aluminium from the material and produce a dealuminated product. The dealuminated product is then treated with a titanium-containing material under conditions effective to insert titanium into the dealuminated product and produce a titanium-containing, dealuminated catalyst composition.The resultant catalyst is useful in the epoxidation of olefins, such as propylene and cyclohexene, with hydrogen peroxide and organic hydroperoxides.
Abstract:
There is provided an isomerization process using a catalyst comprising a hydrogenation/dehydrogenation component, such as a noble metal, and an acidic solid component comprising a Group IVB metal oxide modified with an oxyanion of a Group VIB metal. An example of this catalyst is zirconia, modified with tungstate and platinum. This catalyst is used to isomerize, for example, C.sub.4 to C.sub.8 paraffins. The feed to this paraffin isomerization reaction may, optionally, include cyclic hydrocarbons, such as benzene or cyclohexane, which may undergo ring opening reactions during the course of the isomerization reaction.

Abstract:
There is provided a method for preparing an acidic solid comprising a Group IVB metal oxide modified with an oxyanion of a Group VIB metal. An example of this acidic solid is zirconia, modified with tungstate. This modified solid oxide may be used as a catalyst, for example, to isomerize C.sub.4 to C.sub.8 paraffins. The method for preparing this acidic solid involves contacting a hydrated oxide of a Group IVB metal under hydrothermal conditions, such as reflux conditions, prior to contact of the hydrated oxide with an aqueous solution comprising a source of an oxyanion of a Group VIB metal.
Abstract:
A process and catalyst for Shape Selective Hydrocarbon Conversions such as the regioselective disproportionation of toluene to para-xylene wherein hydrocarbon to be converted is passed over a catalytic molecular sieve which is trim selectivated with a reaction stream comprising toluene and a silicon-containing high efficiency p-xylene selectivating agent under toluene conversion conditions. The toluene disproportionation process attains a single-pass para-xylene product over 95% coupled with a toluene conversion of at least 15%. The present invention also includes the highly para-selective catalyst which results from the treatment of a catalytic molecular sieve with a high efficiency p-xylene selectivating agent under the recited conditions.

There is provided a catalytic method for converting nitrogen oxides to nitrogen (i.e., N.sub.2). The catalyst for this method comprises an acidic solid component comprising a Group IVB metal oxide modified with an oxyanion of a Group VIB metal and further comprising at least one metal selected from the group consisting of Group IB, Group IVA, Group VB, Group VIIB, Group VIII, and mixtures thereof. An example of this catalyst is zirconia, modified with tungstate, and iron. This method may be used for reducing emissions of nitrogen oxides from waste gases, including industrial exhaust gases and automobile exhaust gases. In a particular embodiment, nitrogen oxides in waste gases may be reacted with ammonia before the waste gases are discharged to the atmosphere.
