    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure include processes for ring-opening of hydrocarbon species comprising aromatic and cycloparaffinic rings in hydrocarbon feeds to produce ring-opened products. In particular, the process comprises contacting hydrocarbon species comprising aromatic and cycloparaffinic rings with hydrogen in the presence of a ring-opening catalyst comprising a noble metal on a low-acidity crystalline material containing external pockets to facilitate ring-opening of the hydrocarbon species comprising aromatic and cycloparaffinic rings. The processes are useful in the transformation of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) to ring-opened products.

    Abstract: A method of increasing hydrophobicity of a molecular sieve is provided. The method includes: (a) providing a metallosilicate molecular sieve having a framework consisting of oxides of silicon (Si) and a metal (M), wherein M is boron or zinc; (b) contacting the metallosilicate molecular sieve with a liquid aqueous system, thereby obtaining a demetallated molecular sieve having silanol nests and empty framework sites; and (c) thermally treating the demetallated molecular sieve, thereby obtaining a thermally-treated molecular sieve, wherein the thermally-treated molecular sieve (i) retains the three-dimensional framework structure of the metallosilicate molecular sieve and (ii) has a higher Si/M molar ratio as compared to the metallosilicate molecular sieve.
