Abstract: The invention relates to the use of particulate silicone resins in the absence of added organic solvents with particulate inorganic materials to form structured bodies and in particular molecular sieve containing structured bodies. The silicone resin is used in the form of a particulate with an average particle size of less than 700 um. Upon calcining, the silicone resin is converted to silica which acts as a binder.

Abstract: The sulfur content of liquid cracking products, especially the cracked gasoline, of the catalytic cracking process is reduced by the use of a sulfur reduction catalyst composition comprising a porous molecular sieve which contains a metal in an oxidation state above zero within the interior of the pore structure of the sieve as well as a cerium component which enhances the stability and sulfur reduction activity of the catalyst. The molecular sieve is normally a faujasite such as USY. The primary sulfur reduction component is normally a metal of Period 3 of the Periodic Table, preferably vanadium. The sulfur reduction catalyst may be used in the form of a separate particle additive or as a component of an integrated cracking/sulfur reduction catalyst.

Abstract: In a process for preparing a selectivated catalyst composition useful in the disproportionation of toluene, a catalyst comprising an acidic molecular sieve is contacted with a boron compound at a temperature in excess of 500° C.; and the resultant catalyst is then contacted with a medium containing hydrogen ions to at least partially restore the acid activity of the molecular sieve.

Abstract: EMM-3 (ExxonMobil Material number 3) is a new crystalline microporous material with a framework of tetrahedral atoms connected by atoms capable of bridging the tetrahedral atoms, the tetrahedral atom framework being defined by the interconnections between the tetrahedrally coordinated atoms in its framework. EMM-3 can be prepared in aluminophosphate (AlPO) and metalloaluminophosphate (MeAPO) compositions with the hexamethonium template. It has a unique X-ray diffraction pattern, which identifies it as a new material. EMM-3 is stable to calcination in air, absorbs hydrocarbons, and is catalytically active for hydrocarbon conversion.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for modifying a catalytic molecular sieve for shape-selective hydrocarbon conversions comprises: a) selectivating said catalytic molecular sieve by contacting with a silicon-containing selectivating agent; and b) calcining the selectivated catalytic molecular sieve at high temperature calcination conditions comprising temperatures greater than 700° C., which conditions are sufficient to reduce acid activity as measured by alpha value and increase diffusion barrier of said catalytic molecular sieve as measured by the rate of 2,3-dimethylbutane uptake, as compared to the selectivated catalyst. Catalytic molecular sieves thus prepared, such as silica-bound ZSM-5, and their use in hydrocarbon conversion processes such as aromatics isomerization, e.g., xylene isomerization, ethylbenzene conversion and aromatics disproportionation, e.g., toluene disproportionation are also disclosed.
