Abstract:
A process and catalyst are disclosed for selectively oxidizing alkylaromatics, e.g., o-xylene, to oxygenated aromatics, e.g., phthalic anhydride. The catalyst of the process comprises a layered titanate which contains interspathic polymeric silica and a heavy metal element, e.g., vanadium.
Abstract:
Feedstock comprising aromatic compounds is converted by isomerization, alkylation, disproportionation or transalkylation to product comprising aromatic compounds which differs from the feedstock over catalyst having been prepared by reacting a high-silica zeolite with an acidic inorganic oxide in the presence of water.

Abstract:
Agglomerated crystalline zeolites are deagglomerated by treating the zeolite during its formation or shortly thereafter. The particles are contacted with additional basic solution when crystallization is near completion to effect deagglomeration.
Abstract:
Process for the preparation of alkyl tert-alkyl ethers which comprises reacting a primary alcohol with an olefin having a double bond on a tertiary carbon atom in the presence of an acidic zeolite catalyst. Removal of any excess alcohol from the reaction product is accomplished by passing the reaction product through a bed of small pore zeolite.
Abstract:
Hydrocarbon lubricating oil feedstocks are dewaxed by passing the waxy feedstock over a catalyst bed containing a mixture of medium pore zeolite and large pore zeolite catalysts havig a Constraint Index less than 2 and having hydroisomerization activity in the presence of a hydrogenation component.
Abstract:
As synthesized by conventional technique, zeolite ZSM-5 is crystallized in the presence of substantial amount of tetraalkylammonium cations, the alkyl groups of which contain 2 to 5 carbon atoms, such as, for example, tetrapropylammonium. When synthesized in the conventional way, ZSM-5 contains tetraalkylammonium cations as well as a substantial amount of sodium ions. To obtain a more catalytically active form of ZSM-5, the sodium ions must be exchanged to very low levels. By synthesizing zeolite ZSM-5 according to the present method, i.e., in the presence of a combination of an amine and a halide in the presence of a mutual solvent and with a specifically defined reaction mixture composition, ZSM-5 having different organic nitrogen-containing cations but the same crystal structure as conventionally prepared ZSM-5 is obtained. The ZSM-5 prepared in accordance herewith is very low in sodium content as synthesized and has a crystal size of from about 0.05 microns to about 20 microns.
Abstract:
The alkali metal content of zeolite ZSM-11 in its as-synthesized form is reduced by crystallizing the zeolite from a solution containing a source of benzyltrimethyl ammonium ions.
Abstract:
A method of removing the organic cation from an organic cation-containing zeolite which comprises contacting the zeolite at low temperatures with an aqueous sodium hypochlorite solution.
