Patent number: 11865515Abstract: An active material useful in an oxidative dehydrogenation reactor system has an active phase, and a mixed metal oxide support phase. The active phase includes a transition metal oxide such as manganese oxide, which is reversibly oxidizable and/or reducible between oxidized and reduced states. The support phase includes a mixed metal oxide of a two or more IUPAC Group 2-14 elements. The active phase can also include a promoter such as Na-WO4 and/or a selectivity modifier such as Al or ceria. Also, a reactor including the active material in a reactor, a method of making the active material, and a method of using the active material in a regenerative reaction process.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2021Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: EXXONMOBIL TECHNOLOGY AND ENGINEERING COMPANYInventors: Brian M. Weiss, Sophie Liu, Joseph M. Falkowski, Marc R. Schreier, Herb W. Barry

Patent number: 8841502Abstract: A new family of coherently grown composites of TUN and IMF zeotypes has been synthesized and shown to be effective catalysts for aromatic transalkylation reactions. These zeolites are represented by the empirical formula. NanMmk+TtAl1-xExSiyOz where M represents a metal or metals from zinc or Group 1 (IUPAC 1), Group 2 (IUPAC 2), Group 3 (IUPAC 3) or the lanthanide series of the periodic table, T is the organic directing agent derived from reactants R and Q where R is an A,?-dihalosubstituted alkane such as 1,4-dibromobutane and Q is at least one neutral amine having 6 or fewer carbon atoms such as 1-methylpyrrolidine. E is a framework element such as gallium. The process involves transalkylation of a feedstream comprising one or more of C7, C9, C10 and C11+ aromatics to obtain a transalkylation product stream having an increased concentration of C8 aromatics relative to that of the feedstream.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2013Date of Patent: September 23, 2014Assignee: UOP LLCInventors: Christopher P.

Patent number: 8704026Abstract: A new family of aluminosilicate zeolites designated UZM-44 has been synthesized. These zeolites are represented by the empirical formula. NanMmk+TtAl1-xExSiyOz where M represents a metal or metals from zine, Group 1, Group 2, Group 3 and or the lanthanide series of the periodic table, “m” is the mole ratio of M to (Al+E), T is the organic structure directing agent or agents, and E is a framework element such as gallium. UZM-44 may be used to catalyze a process for the transalkylation of a feedstream comprising one or more of C7, C9, C10 and C11+ aromatics to obtain a transalkylation product stream having an increased concentration of C8 aromatics relative to that of the feedstream.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2013Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: UOP LLCInventors: Christopher P.

Publication number: 20140100403Abstract: A process for transalkylation is described. The process operates at a lower pressure than a typical transalkylation processes, and provides higher benzene purity with comparable or lower ring loss compared to the typical transalkylation process. The xylene selectivity is comparable to or higher than the standard process, and the ethyl benzene selectivity is comparable to or lower than the standard process.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2012Publication date: April 10, 2014Applicant: UOP LLCInventors: Naiyl A.
