Abstract:
Phenol and acetone are produced by the cleavage of cumene hydroperoxide in the presence of a solid heterogeneous catalyst with acidic activity comprising an intermediate pore size zeolite such as ZSM-5.
Abstract:
A method for enhancing the activity of high silica zeolite, i.e. a zeolite having a silica-to-alumina ratio greater than 100, is disclosed which involves calcining the zeolite, treating same with aluminum fluoride, followed by treating the zeolite with an ammonium salt solution and then calcining the final product in order to obtain a zeolite having enhanced activity.
Abstract:
A method for enhancing the activity of high silica zeolite, i.e. a zeolite having a silica-to-alumina ratio greater than 100, which has been synthesized from a reaction mixture containing bulky ions is disclosed which involves compositing the zeolite with a support matrix, calcining the supported zeolite, treating same with boron fluoride, hydrolyzing the boron fluoride treated supported zeolite, contacting the hydrolyzed supported zeolite with a solution of an ammonium salt and then calcining the final product in order to obtain a supported zeolite having enhanced activity.
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for converting synthesis gas to hydrocarbons enriched in linear alpha-olefins which involves the use of a ZSM-5 type zeolite which is substantially catalytically inert and onto which is deposited a carbon oxide reducing component including Fischer-Tropsch type catalysts, such as iron, cobalt and ruthenium.
Abstract:
Alpha-picolines are produced by containing aniline or substituted anilines, such as alkyl-, cyclo alkyl-, halo- ; alkoxy- or substituted alkyl-anilines with a crystalline zeolite catalyst having a silica:alumina ratio of at least 12 and a constraint index of 1 to 12. ZSM-5 type catalysts are contacted at elevated temperature to yield alpha-picolines selectively.
Abstract:
Process for preparing caprolactam from cyclohexanone oxime by passing the oxime, preferably dissolved in a solvent, over a zeolite having a SiO.sub.2 /Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 of at least 12 and a Constraint Index of from 1 to 12.

Abstract:
Synthesis gas is converted to valuable hydrocarbon or alcohol products over catalysts comprising metal cyanide complexes which have been activated by treatment with a reducing gas. The metal cyanide catalysts of this invention, when compared to prior art catalysts, demonstrate increased water gas shift activity such that more oxygen is rejected from the process as CO.sub.2 rather than H.sub.2 O, thus improving the economics of the synthesis gas conversion process.
Abstract:
A method is provided for synthesizing pyridine or alkylpyridines by reacting ammonia and a carbonyl reactant which is an aldehyde containing 2 to 4 carbon atoms, a ketone containing 3 to 5 carbon atoms or mixtures of said aldehydes and/or ketones under effective conditions in the presence of a catalyst comprising a crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite having a silica to alumina ratio of at least about 12 and a constraint index within the approximate range of 1 to 12 and recovering from the resulting reaction mixture, a product containing at least one compound of pyridine or an alkylpyridine. Addition of methanol and/or formaldehyde to the feed improves selectivity to unsubstituted pyridine.
Abstract:
A method and sequence of process steps is described for effecting the conversion of lower alcohols comprising methanol, ethanol and propanol to gasoline boiling range component arranged to significantly extract reaction heat and selectively control the restricting of the alcohol feed through the production of ethers and olefins prior to isomerizing and aromatizing the formed olefins. A tubular reactor section is particularly relied upon for the highly exothermic olefin forming step of the combination operation.
Abstract:
The conversion of methanol to gasoline boiling hydrocarbons in a thermally balanced operation with a special group of zeolite catalysts having a constraint index of 1 to 12, a silica to alumina ratio of at least about 12 and a crystal density of not substantially lower than about 1.6 grams per cubic centimeter is described. The steady state operation of the process is improved by feeding methanol preheated to a selected temperature proximate to its boiling point so that the heat required thereafter to vaporize the feed and to raise its temperature to conversion temperature is substantially equal to the exothermicity of the conversion itself.
