Abstract:
The present invention relates to new crystalline zeolite SSZ-52x prepared using a quaternary ammonium cation templating agent, for example, having the structure: wherein X− is an anion which is not detrimental to the formation of the SSZ-52x. SSZ-52x is useful as a catalyst and shows improved durability, particularly with regard to NOx conversion.
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for preparing zeolite SSZ-52 using a computationally predicted organic structure directing agent. The computationally predicted structure organic directing agent is an organic structure directing agent other than an N,N-diethyl-5,8-dimethyl-azonium bicyclo[3.2.2.]nonane cation, and the difference in stabilization energy between the organic structure directing agent other than an N,N-diethyl-5,8-dimethyl-azonium bicyclo[3.2.2.]nonane cation and the N,N-diethyl-5,8-dimethyl-azonium bicyclo[3.2.2.]nonane cation is no more than 2.5 kJ mol−1 Si.
Abstract:
Provided is a process for hydrocracking normal paraffins into lighter normal paraffins with minimal formation of iso-paraffins. The process comprises hydrocracking a hydrocarbon feedstock comprising normal paraffins under hydrocracking conditions. The reaction is run in the presence of a selected catalyst, e.g., an LTA-type zeolite, with a requisite topology and acid site density. The zeolite has a framework type with voids greater than 0.50 nm in diameter, which are accessible through apertures characterized by a longest diameter of less than 0.50 nm and a shortest diameter of more than 0.30 nm. The reaction conducted in the presence of such a selected zeolite produces an n-paraffin rich product.
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for synthesizing zeolite SSZ-52 in the presence of an organic structure directing agent having the following structure (1): wherein R1, R2, R3 and R4 are independently selected from the group consisting of alkyl groups having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms and n has a value of 0, 1 or 2.
