Abstract: Borated hydrocarbylenetriamine amides can be made by borating the appropriate reaction product of a triamine and an organic monocarboxylic acid. They demonstrate friction reducing and/or fuel consumption reducing properties when formulated into lubricants, particularly lubricating oils, and fuels.

Abstract: The liquid carrier in a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis slurry reactor system is periodically or continually separated and subjected to cracking and isomerization in the presence of suitable catalysts. The treated carrier is returned to the reactor system and the accumulation of high viscosity paraffin in the reactor slurry is minimized. Suitable catalysts include a mixture of cracking and isomerization catalysts. Zeolite ZSM-45 is a novel constituent of the catalyst system.

Abstract: The catalytic demetalation and desulfurization of a residual oil is substantially improved by subjecting the residual oil to hydrodewaxing prior to the demetalation and desulfurization comprising prior to contacting the residual oil with demetalation and desulfurization catalysts, contacting the residual oil, under hydrodewaxing operating conditions effective to significantly reduce the pour point of the residual oil and to cause substantially little demetalization of the residual oil, with a catalyst comprising about 1 to about 10 weight percent of a Group VIB metal, the metals based on the total catalyst, and being present as the oxides or sulfides on a support comprising a composite of alumina and about 5 to about 25 weight percent of a ZSM-5 crystalline zeolite based on the total composite, the catalyst having at least 60 percent of its pore volume in the 50 to 200 Angstroms diameter range or at least 50% of the pore volume in the 30 to 100 Angstroms diameter range.

Abstract: A catalytic multi-stage hydrocarbon conversion process is provided for reducing high metals content, sulfur content and pour point of the catalytically reacted residual oil by the use of sequential combination of catalytic compositions. In the first stage, the residual oil, under demetalation and desulfurization reaction conditions, is passed over a catalyst comprising about 1 to about 10 weight percent of a Group VIB metal, based on the total catalyst weight, on a supporting comprising at least 85 weight percent alumina. The resulting catalyst contains at least 65 percent of its pore volume in the 150 to 300 Angstroms diameter range or at least 60 percent of its pore volume in the 100 to 200 Angstroms diameter range.

Abstract: 3-alkoxy-1 diamines are reacted with a carboxylic acid. The reaction product is further reacted with an inorganic base such as calcium oxide. The product obtained is an additive useful in gasoline to inhibit intake valve deposits and as a dispersant in lubricating compounds.

Abstract: Agglomerated crystalline zeolites are deagglomerated by treating the zeolite following crystallization. At a point where crystallization is complete, a basic solution is added and/or the temperature of the reaction mass is increased by between 50.degree. and 100.degree. F. Alternatively, the crystalline zeolite is recovered and thereafter treated with a basic solution.

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.

Abstract: The pour point of a hydrocarbon charge stock boiling above about 850.degree. F., is reduced by catalytically dewaxing the charge stock in the presence of a zeolite catalyst and subsequently subjecting at least the liquid portion thereof to hydrotreating in the presence of a hydrotreating catalyst comprising a hydrogenating component and a siliceous porous crystalline material from the class of ZSM-5, ZSM-11, ZSM-23 and ZSM-35 zeolites.

Abstract: Heavy oils are simultaneously subjected to hydrocracking and dewaxing using a catalyst comprising zeolite beta and an X or Y or other faujasite zeolite together with a hydrogenation component. The process is able to effect a bulk conversion of the oil while, at the same time, yielding a low pour point product.
