Abstract:
A process for alkylating alkylatable aromatic hydrocarbons using a catalyst comprising a zeolite with a mordenite crystal structure containing alumina fixed in combination therewith.
Abstract:
Hydrocarbons are converted with a catalyst comprising a Group VIII metal component combined with a support containing alumina and finely divided crystalline mordenite particles. Key feature of the process involves the critical quantity of mordenite present in the composition, thereby effecting and maximizing some basic enhancement of the ability of the resultant catalyst to accelerate hydrocarbon conversion reactions that depend on carbonium ion intermediates: that is, the activity level of the resultant composite is markedly increased.
Abstract:
A process for isomerizing isomerizable hydrocarbons using a catalytic composite comprising a zeolite with a mordenite crystal structure containing alumina fixed in combination therewith. Elimination of hydrogenation in the isomerization reaction results in a higher rate of conversion to the desired products.
Abstract:
A PROCESS FOR THE TRANSALKYLATION OF ALKYLAROMATIC HYDROCARBONS. TRANSALKYLATION OF ALKYLAROMATIC HYDROCARBONS, SUCH AS TOLUENE, IS EFFECTED AT TRANSALKYLATION CONDITIONS IN CONTACT WITH A CATALYST COMPRISING FROM ABOUT 60 TO ABOUT 90% OF A ZEOLITE HAVING A MORDENITE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE CONTAINING ALUMINA FIXED IN COMBINATION THEREWITH. THE CATALYST IS CHARACTERIZED BY A METHOD OF PREPARATION.
Abstract:
Low density alumina spheres of improved strength at high temperature are prepared by commingling an acidic alumina sol and an aqueous rare earth metal salt solution with an ammonia precursor at below gelation temperature and dispersing the mixture as droplets in a hot oil bath. The hydrogel spheres which form are aged, washed and dried, and calcined. Low density alumina spheres are useful as a catalyst or as a catalyst support, particularly in the conversion of hot exhaust gases from an internal combustion engine.
