Abstract: This invention relates to a process for the preparation of a hydrocracking catalyst and its use. A zeolite Y having specifically defined properties is mixed with an alumina binder component and a first metals-containing solution that is extruded to form an extruded mixture. The extruded mixture is dried and calcined. The dried and calcined mixture is then impregnated with a second metals-containing solution.

Abstract: Paraffin isomerization catalyst comprising of from 0.01 to 5 wt. % of a Group VIII noble metal on a carrier containing alumina and zeolite beta having a silica to alumina molar ratio (SAR) of from 5 to 15 and process employing such catalyst for isomerization of a hydrocarbon feed containing paraffins having of from 4 to 8 carbon atoms.

Abstract: A process for preparing an alkylaromatics isomerisation catalyst comprising at least 0.01% wt of platinum on a carrier comprising of from 1 to 9 wt % of ZSM-12 and inorganic binder, which process comprises treating the carrier with an impregnation solution comprising base and an anionic platinum complex which impregnation solution has a pH of from 5.5 to 8; and a process for the isomerisation of alkylaromatics with the help of catalyst thus obtained.

Abstract: A process for preparing a hydrocarbon conversion catalyst that comprises a specially made silica-alumina composition and a metal or metal compound selected from Group VIB and Group VIII metals. The silica-alumina composition is made by preparing an aqueous mixture containing aluminum sulfate followed by adding alkali metal aluminate to the mixture to enhance the pH to within specified range and then adding aluminum sulfate to the mixture to lower the pH. Then alkali metal silicate is added followed by several other pH swings to provide a mixture containing silica-alumina. The resulting mixture is treated with an alkaline solution to provide a precipitate solid that is recovered to obtain a silica-alumina composition containing of from 30 to 70% wt silica and of from 70 to 30% wt of alumina.

The silica-alumina composition is made by preparing an aqueous mixture containing aluminum sulfate followed by adding alkali metal aluminate to the mixture to inhance the pH to within specified range and then adding aluminum sulfate to the mixture to lower the pH. Then alkali metal silicate is added followed by several other pH swings to provide a mixture containing silica-alumina. The resulting mixture is treated with an alkaline solution to provide a precipitate solid that is recovered to obtain a silica-alumina composition containing of from 30 to 70% wt silica and of from 70 to 30% wt of alumina.

Abstract: Catalyst composition useful in the catalytic dewaxing of a waxy hydrocarbon feedstock which catalyst composition includes a mixture of zeolite EU-2 and titania and may further include a noble metal. The zeolite EU-2 has a molar bulk ratio of silica-to-alumina (SAR) of greater than 100:1. The zeolite or mixture may have been dealuminated such as by acid leaching using a fluorosilicate salt or by steam treating.
