Abstract:
The invention provides complexes in which a calixarene-related compound is coordinated to an iridium-containing metal colloid. The complexes can be immobilized on a substrate. The complexes of the invention are useful as tunable and highly robust isolated metal colloids that find use in binding of molecules and catalysis of chemical reactions.
Abstract:
A method of treating a cold-start engine exhaust gas stream comprising hydrocarbons and other pollutants, the method comprising: flowing the exhaust gas stream over a molecular sieve bed, the molecular sieve bed comprising an alkali metal cation-exchanged molecular sieve having intersecting 10- and 12-membered ring pore channels, to provide a first exhaust stream; flowing the first exhaust gas stream over a catalyst to convert any residual hydrocarbons and other pollutants contained in the first exhaust gas stream to innocuous products to provide a treated exhaust stream; and discharging the treated exhaust stream into the atmosphere.
Abstract:
An integrated process is provided for producing high octane naphtha. Hydrocracked naphtha from a hydrocracking reaction zone is contacted with a reforming catalyst that includes a silicate having a silica to alumina molar ratio of at least 200, and a crystallite size of less than 10 microns. Products from the reforming include a reformed naphtha and a hydrogen-rich stream, which is passed to the hydrocracking reaction zone.
Abstract:
A process of upgrading a heavy hydrocarbon feedstock comprising contacting a heavy hydrocarbon feedstock with a catalyst in the presence of hydrogen in a reactor system, containing the catalyst as the only catalyst, wherein the catalyst, is prepared by sulfiding a catalyst precursor obtained by mixing at reaction conditions, to form a precipitate or cogel, at least a Group VIII metal compound in solution; at least a Group VIB metal compound in solution; and, at least an organic oxygen containing ligand in solution, and thereby producing a fuel product.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to new molecular sieve SSZ-71 prepared using a N-benzyl-1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane cation as a structure-directing agent, methods for synthesizing SSZ-71 and processes employing SSZ-71 in a catalyst.
Abstract:
A process for preparing a paraffinic product stream in the gasoline, middle distillate fuel and lube ranges from a C2-5-containing feedstock and a C20+ paraffinic feedstock is described. The combined feedstocks are subjected to molecular averaging via dehydrogenation to form olefins, metathesis of the olefins, and rehydrogenation of the olefins to form paraffins. The product stream includes a fraction rich in paraffins the molecular weights of which are between those of the light and heavy paraffin feedstocks, plus some unconverted feeds. The product of the molecular averaging reaction can optionally be isomerized to improve the octane value, in the case of gasoline, or pour point, in the case of middle distillate fuels and lubes. The unconverted feedstocks can be recycled to extinction.
Abstract:
A new crystalline molecular sieve designated SSZ-100 is disclosed. SSZ-100 is synthesized using a cationic nitrogen-containing organic compound having the following structure:
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a multistage reforming process to produce a high octane product. A naphtha boiling range feedstock is processed in a multi-stage reforming process, in which the process involves at least 1) a penultimate stage for reforming the naphtha feedstock to produce a penultimate effluent 2) a final stage for further reforming at least a portion of the penultimate effluent 3) a regeneration step for the final stage catalyst. The severity of the penultimate stage can be increased during final stage catalyst regeneration in order to maintain the target RON of the reformate product and avoid reactor downtime.
Abstract:
A reforming process using a medium pore zeolite under conditions to facilitate the conversion of C8 paraffinic compounds to para-xylene is provided. Para-xylene is produced at greater than thermodynamic equilibrium concentrations using the process.
