  • Process for C8 alkylaromatic isomerization
    Patent number: 7525008
    Abstract: A process for isomerizing ethylbenzene into xylenes such as para-xylene using a zeolitic catalyst system based on low Si/Al2 MTW-type zeolite that preferably is substantially free of mordenite. The catalyst may be bimetallic where the two metals are platinum and tin.

  • Apparatus and method for carrying shopping bags
    Publication number: 20070024072
    Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed providing a top portion and a bottom portion having a channel. The top portion can be rotated into an open position with respect to the bottom portion to allow a handle of a shopping bag to be placed into the channel. After the handle of the shopping bag has been placed into the channel, the top portion can be rotated into a closed position with respect to the bottom portion to prevent the handle of the shopping bag from being removed from the channel.

  • Zirconium silicate and zirconium germanate molecular sieves and process using the same
    Patent number: 5891417
    Abstract: A new family of crystalline molecular sieves have been synthesized. These compositions have a microporous structure of ZrO.sub.3 octahedral units, and at least one of SiO.sub.2 tetrahedral units and GeO.sub.2 tetrahedral units. Optionally, the molecular sieves contain M metals such as titanium, niobium, or tin. These novel molecular sieves are prepared hydrothermally from a reaction mixture composed of reactive sources of the components. Additionally, these molecular sieves are useful for the selective adsorption of ammonium ions.
