Abstract:
A new family of aluminosilicate zeolites designated UZM-44 has been synthesized. These zeolites are represented by the empirical formula. NanMmk+TtAl1-xExSiyOz where “n” is the mole ratio of Na to (Al+E), M represents a metal or metals from zinc, Group 1, Group 2, Group 3 and or the lanthanide series of the periodic table, “m” is the mole ratio of M to (Al+E), “k” is the average charge of the metal or metals M, T is the organic structure directing agent or agents, and E is a framework element such as gallium. UZM-44 has catalytic properties for carrying processes involving contacting at least one low carbon number aliphatic hydrocarbon having from 1 to about 4 carbon atoms per molecule with the catalytic composite comprising UZM-44 to produce at least one aromatic hydrocarbon.
Abstract:
This present disclosure relates to processes for methylation of aromatics in an aromatics complex for producing a xylene isomer product. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a process for producing para-xylene by the selective methylation of toluene and/or benzene in an aromatics complex using mild reaction conditions, namely a combination of low temperatures and elevated pressures using a zeolite with lower number of external acid sites.
Abstract:
A catalyst and a process for using the catalyst are presented. The catalyst is a heterogeneous catalyst and includes active metal halides bonded to functional groups. The functional groups are bonded to a polymeric backbone to form the structure supporting the catalyst. The catalyst is useful for the dimerization of acetylene to convert the acetylene to a larger hydrocarbon, and in particular to dimerize acetylene to vinylacetylene.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to minimizing benzene, toluene, and an A9/A10 recycle loop in a zero benzene aromatics complex. More specifically, the present invention relates to a minimizing benzene, toluene, and an A9/A10 recycle loop in a zero benzene aromatics complex wherein the aromatic feed has a low methyl to phenyl ratio, and where the aromatic feed has a high methyl to phenyl ratio.
Abstract:
A new family of coherently grown composites of TUN and IMF zeotypes has been synthesized and shown to be effective catalysts in processes for converting at least one aliphatic hydrocarbon having from 1 to about 4 carbon atoms in a feedstream to provide at least one aromatic hydrocarbon. These zeolites are represented by the empirical formula. NanMmk+TtAl1-xExSiyOz where M represents zinc or a metal or metals from Group 1, Group 2, Group 3 or the lanthanide series of the periodic table, T is the organic structure directing agent or agents and E is a framework element such as gallium. The process involves contacting a low carbon number aliphatic hydrocarbon with the coherently grown composite of TUN and IMF zeotypes to produce at least an aromatic.
