  • Publication number: 20260208172
    Abstract: Described herein is a process for preparing a zeolite including mixing an aluminum source, a sodium source and water to form a mixture. After mixing, a silicon source is added and mixed. Then, a zeolite crystal or zeolite seed is added to form a gel mixture, which is then crystallized at a temperature of about 100° C. to about 200° C. for about 10 to about 108 hours to obtain zeolite crystals.

  • Patent number: 12629666
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a catalyst component suitable for petroleum refining applications (e.g., fluid catalytic cracking and hydrocracking) that includes a MSB zeolite structure (e.g., MCM-68) and a non-zeolitic matrix. The first component may be combined with additional components into a catalyst composition. Also disclosed herein are methods of preparing the catalyst component and/or catalyst compositions as well as method of using the catalyst component and/or catalyst composition.

  • Patent number: 12577474
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a phosphorus modified UZM-35 zeolite, methods of its preparation, and methods of its use in hydrocarbon conversion processes, e.g., as part of a catalyst component and/or as part of a catalyst composition. Catalyst components with phosphorus modified UZM-35, their methods of preparation, and their methods of use suitable for petroleum refining applications (e.g., hydrocarbon conversion processes such as fluid catalytic cracking and hydrocracking) are described herein. Also disclosed herein are catalyst compositions, which include phosphorus modified UZM-35 and catalyst components thereof along with at least one additional catalyst component. Methods of preparing and methods of using such catalyst compositions are also encompassed by the instant disclosure.

  • Publication number: 20250171321
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are phosphated zeolites and methods of formation and stabilization thereof. In at least one embodiment, a phosphated zeolite is formed by performing one or more acid treatments on a zeolite using a phosphorus source, and subsequently increasing the reaction pH under conditions sufficient to induce condensation of phosphorus onto the zeolite and re-insertion of the extracted framework aluminum onto the zeolite.
