摘要:
A method for activation of an organic cation-containing crystalline catalyst is disclosed. The method includes contacting the catalyst with steam under conditions to decompose the organic cations, which result in the activation of the catalyst. The method has the advantage that organic cations are converted to non-hazardous by-products such as ammonia and light hydrocarbons such as ethylene. These are more easily controlled by environmental control schemes than higher molecular weight by-products resulting from traditional activation methods (nitrogen or nitrogen/air). The steamed catalyst can optionally be calcined to remove any organic material which may remain after steaming.For instance, a major product which results from decomposting the tetraethylammonium organic cations in zeolite .beta. is ethylene. The ethylene can be subsequently converted into carbon dioxide and water by oxidation.

A process is provided for transalkylation of polyalkylaromatics over a catalyst comprising a molecular sieve having a high lattice aluminum content whereby its silica/alumina mole ratio is less than 40 and an alpha value of at least about 140.
摘要:
A new xylene isomerization process which is capable of converting ethylbenzene and non-aromatic exhaustively while selectively converting xylenes to thermal equilibrium in mixed EB/xylene feeds is proposed. The new process employs a two component catalyst system; each of the components contains a strong hydrogenation metal and a zeolite. The zeolite of each of the two components differs from the other in its selectivity for xylene isomerization and its capacity to deethylete ethylbenzene. That selectivity for xylene isomerization is described by xylene diffusion properties of the zeolite. In one embodiment of the invention, ZSM-5 of greater than 1 micron crystal size and an alpha value of greater than 100 in a first component and ZSM-5 of less than 1 micron crystal size and an alpha of less than 100 in a second catalyst component satisfy the diffusion properties which allow for the exhaustive conversion of ethyl benzene and non-aromatics and the selectivity for xylene isomerization of typical xylene isomerization feeds. In a preferred embodiment, the feed is cascaded over the first component and then the aforementioned second component.
摘要:
The elution of zinc from zinc-impregnated zeolite catalysts is minimized by incorporating gallium into the catalyst composition. Optionally, palladium may also be included in the composition. The catalyst composition is used to effect the conversion of propane in hydrocarbon streams to aromatic hydrocarbons.
摘要:
A feedstock of low molecular weight oxygenates such as methanol and/or dimethylether is contacted with a mildly presteamed or hydro-thermally treated zeolite catalyst in a reaction zone to produce liquid hydrocarbons in the gasoline boiling range. The pretreated zeolite catalyst has an .alpha.-value (acid cracking activity) substantially the same as the .alpha.-value of fresh unsteamed catalyst and shows increased stability and resistance to aging under oxygenate conversion conditions of elevated temperature and pressure.
摘要:
A catalytic process is provided for converting gaseous feedstocks containing ethane to liquid aromatics by contacting said gaseous feeds in the absence of added air or oxygen, under conversion conditions, with a crystalline zeolite catalyst having incorporated therein a minor amount of gallium, thereby converting the ethane in the feedstock to aromatics and recovering a liquid mixture of benzene, toluene and xylene.
摘要:
Petroleum resid is upgraded in an improved process to produce a low pour point 650.degree.-775.degree. F. fraction without disturbing the product characteristics of other distillate boiling range fractions. The 650.degree.-775.degree. F. fraction is dewaxed separately from the remaining hydrodesulfurized product.
摘要:
A zeolite of improved stability for use in acid-catalyzed reactions is prepared by mildly presteaming the catalyst under controlled conditions of temperature, time, and steam partial pressure. The resulting catalyst retains nearly the same activity as that of a fresh unsteamed catalyst.
