  • Hydrocracking catalyst and process using insitu produced Y-fauajasite
    Patent number: 8460540
    Abstract: A hydrocracking catalyst comprising zeolite crystallized as a layer on the surface of a porous alumina-containing matrix, said zeolite-layered matrix arranged in a configuration to provide macropores in which the zeolite layer is provided on the walls of the macropores. Hydrogenating metals can be incorporated into the catalyst.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 26, 2007
    Date of Patent: June 11, 2013
    Assignee: BASF Corporation
    Inventors: David M. Stockwell, Bruce A. Lerner

  • Modified microsphere FCC catalysts and manufacture thereof
    Patent number: 5559067
    Abstract: An in situ process for making improved zeolitic fluid cracking catalyst by spray drying a mixture of hydrous kaolin, gibbsite and spinel, essentially free from metakaolin, calcining the resulting microspheres to convert the hydrous kaolin to metakaolin whereby the gibbsite is hydrothermally converted to a transitional alumina, and reacting the microspheres composed of a mixture of spinel, transitional alumina and metakaolin with a seeded alkaline sodium silicate solution.
