Abstract: Crystalline aluminosilicate zeolites are mixed with conventional reforming catalysts to produce new catalytic compositions with high catalytic activity and selectivity and excellent aging characteristics. These new catalytic compositions may be utilized alone or in conjunction with conventional reforming catalysts. The acidic activity of the total catalyst system is controlled within defined limits. When so controlled the utility of these catalyst systems in reforming hydrocarbon mixtures is to reduce the C.sub.1 and C.sub.2 concentrations in reformer gas product, while increasing the C.sub.3 and C.sub.4 concentrations and maintaining high liquid yield at high octane numbers.

It is critical to the invention with respect to can forming that the acid or anhydride contain, in addition to its basic carbon length, a chain derived from an olefin having from 16 to 28 carbon atoms.

Abstract: The invention provides a titania-zirconia or a titania-zirconia-alumina catalyst base containing a system of metals, metal oxides or metal sulfides from Groups VIB, VIIB and VIII of the Periodic Table. Such catalyst are useful in the hydrodesulfurization and denitrogenation of hydrocarbon feed stocks and the saturation of aromatics contained therein.

Abstract: Improvement in the oxidation of phosphorus trihalide to the oxyhalide in a reactor having a lower reaction zone and at least one upper reaction zone, whereby the trihalide is introduced at the bottom portion of the upper reaction zone and rises upwardly, reacting with oxygen fed in at the bottom portion of said lower reaction zone, the PX.sub.3 -POX.sub.3 mixture exits through exit means in the top portion of said upper reaction zone and is fed therethrough to the topmost portion of said lower reaction zone where said mixture flows downwardly toward the product exit and reacts with upwardly flowing suitable quality oxygen.

Abstract: Synthetic hydrocarbon oils having excellent viscosity index and pour point combinations. They are made by a process involving the copolymerization of propylene or propylene plus higher 1-olefins with small amounts of ethylene.

Abstract: Succinimides of aminoaryl sulfonic acid salts provide exceptional detergency, viscosity control and anticorrosion properties to lubricants and greases and to other fluid compositions useful in hydraulic systems. Ammonium, alkylammonium, alkali metal, alkaline earth metal and groups IB, IIB, VIB, VIIB, VIII metal salts of aminoaryl sulfonic acid salts, and the salts of sulfanilic acid in particular, can be reacted with alkenyl or alkylsuccinic anhydride, acid or ester, in which the alkenyl or alkyl group may contain from 8 to about 500 carbon atoms, to yield the products of this invention. These products are understood to be novel. Suitable modifications of the aforementioned are the succinimides of di(aminoaryl sulfonic acid) salts, aniline disulfonic acid salts and corresponding aminonaphthalene sulfonate salts which are also useful in the compositions of this invention.

Abstract: The invention provides a novel process for the removal of fluorine during the production of fertilizer by precipitating the ion during the ammoniation step and recovering same by pyrolysis.To recover the fluorine the fertilizer is first separated out as a filtrate and the precipitate is heated to evolve ammonium fluoride, which heating is done in an ammonia atmosphere.

Abstract: A novel product formed by forming the metal salt of the product of reaction between a dialkyl or diaryl phosphorodithioic acid and a sulfurized olefin possesses among other things, good antiwear and antioxidant activity. Organic compositions containing a minor amount thereof also possess good lubricating characteristics.

Abstract: A synthetic lubricating composition is provided comprising a major proportion of a base oil and a minor proportion of a plurality of additives, added for the purpose of substantially improving properties of such composition other than viscosity index. The base oil comprises (1) a mixture of at least two fatty acid esters of specified characteristics with regard to viscosity and (2) a hydrogenated oligomer of an alpha olefin of 6 to 12 carbon atoms. The resulting blend of base oil and additives has a viscosity index which differs from that of the base oil by no more than 20.

Abstract: Synthetic esters or mixtures thereof, containing a free hydroxyl group in the molecule, are useful as lubricants for internal combustion engines, preferably in combination with synthetic hydrocarbon fluids. The composition, when used to lubricate an internal combustion engine, reduces the fuel consumed by such engine.
