Abstract:
A method of preparing a modified catalytic molecular sieve for enhanced shape selective hydrocarbon conversions in which a catalytic molecular sieve is modified by being exposed to at least one ex situ selectivation sequence, each sequence including an impregnation of the molecular sieve with a selectivating agent in an aqueous emulsion and a subsequent calcination of the impregnated molecular sieve. The selectivating agent compositions for the ex situ selectivation method are also described, including the selectivating agents, the surfactants, and the aqueous components. Also, a method for moderate steaming of the ex situ selectivated molecular sieve. Also a method for in situ trim-selectivating the ex situ selectivated catalytic molecular sieve. Also described is the modified catalytic molecular sieve modified by this method. Also described is a process for shape selective hydrocarbon conversion comprising contacting a hydrocarbon feedstream under conversion conditions with the modified catalytic molecular sieve.
Abstract:
There is provided a catalyst comprising a hydrogenation/dehydrogenation component, such as a noble metal, and an acidic solid component comprising a Group IVB metal oxide modified with an oxyanion of a Group VIB metal. An example of this catalyst is zirconia, modified with tungstate and platinum. There is also provided a method for preparing this catalyst. This catalyst may be used, for example, to isomerize C.sub.4 to C.sub.8 paraffins. The feed to this paraffin isomerization reaction may, optionally, include cyclic hydrocarbons, such as benzene or cyclohexane, which may undergo ring opening reactions during the course of the isomerization reaction.
Abstract:
A process for a shape selective hydrocarbon conversion such as toluene disproportionation involves contacting a reaction stream under conversion conditions with a catalytic molecular sieve which has been pre-selectivated and concurrently activated by contact with a substantially aqueous solution of an organosilicon compound. The invention also includes a method for concurrently preselectivating and activating a catalyst and the shape selectivated, activated catalyst which results from this method.
Abstract:
There is provided a process for reacting phenol with butene or butanol over fairly large-pore zeolites to give butylphenol with high para-selectivity. Particular zeolites for use in this reaction include ZSM-12 and zeolite beta. A particular butene or butanol reactant is isobutanol. The product of this reaction may have a high content of the mono-alkylated, tert-butyl product.
