摘要:
A method is disclosed for modifying a catalytic molecular sieve for shape-selective hydrocarbon conversions comprises: a) selectivating said catalytic molecular sieve by contacting with a silicon-containing selectivating agent; and b) calcining the selectivated catalytic molecular sieve at high temperature calcination conditions comprising temperatures greater than 700° C., which conditions are sufficient to reduce acid activity as measured by alpha value and increase diffusion barrier of said catalytic molecular sieve as measured by the rate of 2,3-dimethylbutane uptake, as compared to the selectivated catalyst. Catalytic molecular sieves thus prepared, such as silica-bound ZSM-5, and their use in hydrocarbon conversion processes such as aromatics isomerization, e.g., xylene isomerization, ethylbenzene conversion and aromatics disproportionation, e.g., toluene disproportionation are also disclosed.
摘要:
There is provided a substantially binder-free catalytic molecular sieve which has been modified by being ex situ selectivated with a silicon compound. The ex situ selectivation involves exposing the molecular sieve to at least two silicon impregnation sequences, each sequence comprising an impregnation with a silicon compound followed by calcination. The catalyst may be used in a hydrocarbon conversion process, such as toluene disproportionation.

There is provided zeolite catalyst, which is first selectivated with a siliceous material and then treated with an aqueous solution comprising ammonium or organoammonium ions under ion exchange conditions.
摘要:
The present invention describes a method to increase the activity of a catalyst by first performing an ion exchange step with a potassium ion, followed by performing an ion-exchange step with an ammonium ion. Specifically, the present invention describes a method to increase the acidity of a zeolite by incorporating a potassium salt ion-exchange prior to an ammonium salt ion-exchange step. Even more specifically, the present invention is drawn to a method of increasing the activity of a zeolite by employing more than one potassium ion exchanges followed by at least one ammonium ion exchange. The present invention also describes a method to reduce the amount of sodium normally found in commercially produced zeolite by employing any of these methods. The present invention is also drawn to the catalysts produced by any of these methods.

摘要:
A catalyst system that exhibits a ratio of ethylene saturation to aromatics ring saturation of greater than 3,500. The catalyst system comprises two components and each component comprises a crystalline molecular sieve having a Constraint Index of from about 1 to about 12 and an effective amount of Group VIII metal. The catalyst system finds particular application in ethylbenzene conversion/xylenes isomerization reactions. The catalyst system can be prepared by incorporating the Group VIII metal into the molecular sieves by competitive ion exchange.
