Abstract: An improved hydroisomerization catalyst and process for making a base oil product using a catalyst comprising SSZ-91 molecular sieve and ZSM-12 molecular sieve. The catalyst and process generally involves the use of a catalyst comprising an SSZ-91 molecular sieve combined with a ZSM-12 molecular sieve to produce dewaxed base oil products by contacting the catalyst with a hydrocarbon feedstock. The catalyst and process provide improved base oil cold properties, such as pour point and cloud point, along with other beneficial base oil properties.

Abstract: A sterilization and deodorization waste container having dual-wave band ultraviolet lamp tube includes an isolation chamber provided on an inner side of a container lid and a dual-wave band ultraviolet lamp tube installed in the isolation chamber. The dual-wave band ultraviolet lamp tube is capable of simultaneously generating a direct ultraviolet light wave and an ozone ultraviolet light wave. The isolation chamber includes a reflector housing having a light transmitting window facing an inner cavity of a container body. The dual-wave band ultraviolet lamp tube is controlled by a control circuit to turn on to generate the ultraviolets into an inner cavity of the container body while the container lid is closed and to turn off to stop generating the ultraviolet while the container lid is opened.

Abstract: A method for making a hydroisomerization catalyst having improved thermal stability and metal dispersion characteristics, the catalyst prepared therefrom, and a process for making a base oil product using the catalyst are disclosed. The catalyst is prepared from a composition comprising an SSZ-91 molecular sieve and a rare earth modified alumina, with the composition being modified to contain a Group 8-10 metal, typically through impregnation of a Group 8-10 metal composition. The catalyst may be used to produce dewaxed base oil products by contacting the catalyst under hydroisomerization conditions with a hydrocarbon feedstock.
Abstract: A transistor structure is disclosed. The transistor structure includes a dielectric layer that has a thinner portion over a first doped well and a second doped well, and a thicker portion adjacent the thinner portion and over the second doped well. The thicker portion has a height greater than the thinner portion above the doped wells. The transistor includes a first gate structure on the thinner portion and a second gate structure on the thicker portion of the dielectric layer. The transistor may include a third gate structure on the thicker portion.
Abstract: The present disclosure relates to semiconductor structures and, more particularly, to a bipolar transistor with thermal conductor and methods of manufacture.

Abstract: Provided in one embodiment is a continuous process for converting waste plastic into recycle for polyethylene polymerization. The process comprises selecting waste plastics containing polyethylene and/or polypropylene, and passing the waste plastics through a pyrolysis reactor to thermally crack at least a portion of the polyolefin waste and produce a pyrolyzed effluent. The pyrolyzed effluent is separated into offgas, a pyrolysis oil and optionally pyrolysis wax comprising a naphtha/diesel fraction and heavy fraction, and char. The pyrolysis oil and wax is passed to a refinery FCC feed pretreater unit. A heavy fraction is recovered and sent to a refinery FCC unit, from which a C3 olefin/paraffin mixture fraction is recovered, which is passed to a steam cracker for ethylene production. In another embodiment, a propane fraction (C3) is recovered from a propane/propylene splitter and passed to the steam cracker.
