Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for preparing a multi-level pore zeolite, including: (A) a step of mixing a silicon precursor, an aluminum precursor, a phosphorus precursor, a structure directing agent and water; a step of (B) adding phenylphosphonic acid, carbon black or a mixture thereof to the mixture prepared in the step (A) and mixing the same; a step of (C) crystallizing the mixture prepared in the step (B) by heat-treating the same; and a step of (D) calcining the crystallization product, and utilization of the prepared multi-level pore zeolite as a catalyst for hydroisomerization of normal paraffins. The catalyst exhibits improved isoparaffin yield when it is used as a catalyst for hydroisomerization of normal paraffins such as diesel or lube base oil by supporting an active metal component because residence time of reactants and products in the zeolite crystals are decreased due to mesopores and the proportion of external acid sites to total acid sites is low.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for selective dealkylation of alkyl-substituted C9+ aromatic compounds using a bimodal porous dealkylation catalyst at a low temperature. The catalyst has a bimodal porous structure including both mesopores and micropores. The catalyst includes a crystalline aluminosilicate and a metal. The catalyst is highly active at a low temperature. According to the method, C9+ aromatic compounds substituted with at least one C2+ alkyl group as by-products formed by xylene production can be selectively dealkylated and converted to BTX, etc. on a large scale within a short time. In addition, the method is an environmentally friendly process entailing reduced waste treatment cost when compared to conventional mesitylene production methods. Therefore, high value-added mesitylene can be separated from low value-added C9+ aromatic compounds at lower cost compared to conventional methods.
