Abstract:
Disclosed herein are new mixed metal oxide catalysts suitable as heterogeneous catalysts for catalyzing the transesterification process of aromatic alcohols with a dialkyl carbonate to form aromatic carbonates. The heterogeneous catalyst comprises a combination of two, three, four, or more oxides of Mo, V, Nb, Ce, Cu, Sn, or an element selected from Group IA or Group IIA of the periodic table.
Abstract:
Disclosed are stable catalysts, and methods for their use, that are capable of producing an olefin from an alkyl halide. The catalysts include a phosphorus-treated silicoalummophosphate (SAPO) having a structure of X/SAPO or X/Z-SAPO, where X includes a non-framework phosphorus and Z is one or more elements from Groups 2A, 3A, IVB, VIB, VIIB, VIII, IB of the Periodic Table, or compounds thereof comprised in the SAPO framework.

Abstract:
A hydrogenolysis bimetallic supported catalyst comprising a first metal, a second metal, and a zeolitic support; wherein the first metal and the second metal are different; and wherein the first metal and the second metal can each independently be selected from the group consisting of iridium (Ir), platinum (Pt), rhodium (Rh), ruthenium (Ru), palladium (Pd), molybdenum (Mo), tungsten (W), nickel (Ni), and cobalt (Co).
Abstract:
Disclosed is a SAPO-34 molecular sieve having platelet morphology with the smallest dimension on the order of a few nanometers. Also disclosed are methods and systems of using said molecular sieve for catalyzing the reaction of alkyl halides to light olefins. These methods and systems have been shown to have maximum combined selectivity of ethylene and propylene of at least 90% or ranging from 90% to 98%.
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods of producing SAPO-34 and MeAPSO-34 molecular sieves having nano-crystal morphology and optionally a hierarchical structure. Also disclosed are methods and systems of using said molecular sieve for catalyzing the reaction of alkyl halides to light olefins.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for converting an alkyl halide to an olefin. The method can include contacting a zeolite catalyst having a chemical formula of My/nH(x-y)AlxSi(96-x)O192, where M is a metal cation having a valence of n under reaction conditions sufficient to produce an olefin hydrocarbon product comprising C2 to C4 olefins. M can include cations of metals from Groups IA, IIA, IIIA. IVB, VB, VIB VIIB, IB, IIB, IIIA or IVA, or any combination of metal cations thereof and y is 0.4≦y≦5.0.
