Abstract: Process for the preparation of a novolac alkylphenol resin using a defined mixture of mono- and dialkylphenols, an aldehyde, and an acid catalyst. The mixture of mono- and dialkylphenols comprises 20 to 70 mol % mono-alkylphenols having an alkyl group of 1 to 18 carbon atoms, and 30 to 80 mol % of dialkylphenols having alkyl groups of 1 to 18 carbon atoms. The molar ratio of aldehyde in comparison to the mono- and dialkylphenol mixture is greater than or equal to 1. Novolac alkylphenol resins prepared according to this invention contain, of each individual starting material phenolic monomer component, less than 0.5 mass %, and in the best case, less than 0.1 mass % in comparison to the total obtained alkylphenol resin.

Abstract: There is provided a zeolite bound zeolite catalyst which does not contain significant amount of non-zeolitic binder and can be tailored to optimize its performance and a process for converting hydrocarbons utilizing the zeolite bound zeolite catalyst. The zeolite bound zeolite catalyst comprises core crystals containing first crystals of a first zeolite and optionally second crystals of a second zeolite having a composition, structure type, or both that is different from said first zeolite and binder crystals containing third crystals of a third zeolite and optionally fourth crystals of a fourth zeolite having a composition, structure type, or both that is different from said third zeolite. If the core crystals do not contain the second crystals of the second zeolite, then the binder crystals must contain the fourth crystals of the fourth zeolite. The zeolite bound zeolite finds application in hydrocarbon conversion processes, e.g.
