摘要:
A zeolite catalyst suitable for use in shape-selective hydrocarbon conversion processes. The catalyst is modified by incorporation therein of a hydrogenation-dehydrogenation functional metal, followed by gradient selectivation with an organosilicon compound under conversion conditions, wherein the gradient selectivation conditions are characterized by a progressive temperature gradient. The use of a progressive temperature gradient during the in situ selectivation procedure unexpectedly yields a catalyst in which the hydrogenation-dehydrogenation function is stabilized, thereby enabling long duration hydrocarbon conversion processes with low by-product make.
摘要:
A method for the selective disproportionation of a substituted aromatic compound wherein the aromatic compound is passed over a catalytic molecular sieve which has been pre-selectivated with a silicon deposit and then subsequently treated with a silicon-containing, high efficiency p-xylene selectivating agent at conversion conditions. The present invention attains para-xylene product over 95% at a toluene conversion of at least 20%. The present invention also includes the highly para-selective catalyst which results from the pre-selectivation and subsequent treatment of a catalytic molecular sieve with a high efficiency p-xylene selectivating agent under the recited conditions.

摘要:
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.

In the process of converting an aromatic feedstock to an alkyl-substituted mono-nuclear aromatic product by contacting the feedstock with a coke-selectivated ZSM-5 type catalyst at elevated temperature under conversion process coking conditions to produce said alkyl-1-substituted mononuclear aromatic product selectively, the improvement which comprises:regenerating the process coked catalyst in contact with a non-oxidizing atmosphere comprising an effective amount of hydrogen at a temperature of about 800.degree. F. to 1200.degree. F. to restore activity of the catalyst while retaining selectivity. Advantageously, the conversion involves alkylation, disproportionation and/or isomerization to produce at least one lower alkyl or dialkyl benzene product.

Living plants and animals synthesize and often accumulate a wide variety of organic materials having a molecular weight greater than 150. These include different chemical types such as natural hydrocarbons including rubbery substances, natural resins, and natural glycerides such as oils and fats. These substances, formed in the anabolic process, are collectively called "anabolites".This invention provides a process for catalytically converting certain anabolites to liquid hydrocarbons useful for the manufacture of fuels such as gasoline and chemicals such as para-xylene. Crystalline aluminosilicate zeolites having an effective pore size of greater than about 5 Angstrom units are useful catalysts.

A process is provided for the selective production of para dialkyl substituted benzenes wherein the alkyl group contains from 1 to 4 carbon atoms which comprises contacting, under conversion conditions, a hydrocarbon precursor selected from the group consisting of mono alkyl-substituted benzenes having 1-4 carbon atoms in the alkyl substituent and a mixture of said precursor or benzene with an alkylating agent containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms with a catalyst comprising a porous crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite having deposited thereon a coating of silica which extensively covers and resides substantially exclusively on the external surface thereof, said zeolite being characterized by an activity, in terms of alpha value, of between about 2 and about 5000, a xylene sorption capacity greater than 1 gram/100 grams of zeolite and an ortho xylene sorption time for 30 percent of said capacity greater than 10 minutes, said sorption capacity and sorption time being measured at 120.degree. C and a pressure of 4.5 .+-. 0.8 mm. of mercury and recovering from the resulting product mixture, a para dialkyl substituted benzene in an amount greater than the thermodynamic equilibrium concentration thereof in the total dialkyl substituted benzenes produced.

A catalyst is provided, which is especially applicable for the selective production of C.sub.2 -C.sub.3 olefins, comprising a crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite having a silica to alumina ratio of at least about 12, a constraint index, as hereinafter defined, within the approximate range of 1 to 12 and having contained within the interior crystalline structure thereof added amorphous silica in an amount of at least about 0.3 and preferably between about 0.5 and about 30 weight percent. The resultant catalyst is characterized by n-hexane sorption capacity at a temperature of 90.degree. C and a n-hexane partial pressure of 83 mm. of mercury which is at least 1 percent less than corresponding sorption capacity under identical conditions for the unmodified zeolite. Generally, the n-hexane sorption capacity for the described silica-modified zeolite, at the above specified conditions, is 5 to 60 percent less than that for the zeolite which has not undergone treatment to incorporate amorphous silica therein. The invention described herein also encompasses synthesis of the specified catalyst and use of the same in selectively converting lower monohydric alcohols and their ethers, especially methanol and dimethyl ether, to a hydrocarbon mixture rich in ethylene and propylene.
摘要:
A novel use for sorbents involving the selective removal of heavy metals from liquid streams has been discovered. More specifically it has been discovered that these sorbents selectively remove alkyl lead moieties from gasoline. The sorbents are comprised of metal halides (preferably tin tetrachloride or antimony pentachloride) bonded to a suitable substrate through at least one amine or alkyl halide functional group. The sorbents can be effectively regenerated.
