Abstract:
A process for converting a C.sub.1 -C.sub.12 non-aromatic hydrocarbon feed to aromatics by contacting the feed with a zinc-containing medium pore size zeolite catalyst in a conversion zone, comprising adding at least one non-metal oxide or sulfide to the feed in an amount effective to prevent elution of zinc from the zinc-containing zeolite catalyst.
Abstract:
A modified ZSM-5 type zeolite is provided by treatment of a ZSM-5 type zeolite with BF.sub.3. The novel product is characterized by reduced pore size and enhanced shape-selectivity, or by enhanced activity, or by both. This invention also provides a process for catalytically converting organic compounds by use of the novel composition, an illustrative conversion being the catalytic conversion of methanol to hydrocarbons.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a zeolite base catalyst useful particularly for the selective production of para-dialkylsubstituted benzene. The catalyst comprises a porous crystalline zeolite having silica deposited thereon and having incorporated therein phosphorous. Described also in the process for making the catalyst and the parameters for the use of the catalyst in dialkylation processes.
Abstract:
A catalyst is provided, which is especially applicable for the selective production of C.sub.2 -C.sub.3 olefins, comprising a crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite having a silica to alumina ratio of at least about 12, a constraint index, as hereinafter defined, within the approximate range of 1 to 12 and having contained within the interior crystalline structure thereof added amorphous silica in an amount of at least about 0.3 and preferably between about 0.5 and about 30 weight percent. The resultant catalyst is characterized by a n-hexane sorption capacity at a temperature of 90.degree. C. and a n-hexane partial pressure of 83 mm. of mercury which is at least 1 percent less than corresponding sorption capacity under identical conditions for the unmodified zeolite. Generally, the n-hexane sorption capacity for the described silica-modified zeolite, at the above specified conditions, is 5 to 60 percent less than that for the zeolite which has not undergone treatment to incorpoate amorphous silica therein. The invention described herein also encompasses synthesis of the specified catalyst and use of the same in selectively converting lower monohydric alcohols and their ethers, especially methanol and dimethyl ether, to a hydrocarbon mixture rich in ethylene and propylene.
Abstract:
Intercalation of a Lewis acid fluoride in graphite is effected in the presence of gaseous fluorine. The reaction results in new compositions useful as catalysts and as atmospheric pressure containers for normally gaseous Lewis acid fluorides.
Abstract:
A catalyst particularly applicable for the selective production of para dialkyl substituted benzenes is provided comprising a porous crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite which has undergone modification by deposition thereon of a coating of silica extensively covering, and residing substantially exclusively on the external surface thereof as a result of contact with a silicone compound of a molecular size incapable of entering the pores of the zeolite and subsequent heating in an oxygen-containing atmosphere to a temperature in excess of 300.degree. C. but below a temperature at which crystallinity of the zeolite is adversely affected at a rate such that the silicone compound does not volatilize prior to undergoing oxidation to silica. The zeolite is characterized by an activity, in terms of alpha value, of between about 2 and about 5000, a xylene sorption capacity greater than 1 gram/100 grams of zeolite and an ortho-xylene sorption time for 30 percent of said capacity of greater than 10 minutes, said sorption capacity and sorption time being measured at 120.degree. C. and a xylene pressure of 4.5 .+-. 0.8 mm. of mercury.
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.
Abstract:
A catalytic molecular sieve which has been preselectivated by agglomerating with an organosilicon compound. The invention also includes a method for agglomeration-preselectivation and the shape selective catalyst which results from the agglomeration preselectivation.
