  • Patent number: 7718840
    Abstract: Disclosed is a process for producing light olefins from hydrocarbon feedstock. The process is characterized in that a porous molecular sieve catalyst consisting of a product obtained by evaporating water from a raw material mixture comprising a molecular sieve with a framework of Si—OH—Al— groups, a water-insoluble metal salt, and a phosphate compound, is used to produce light olefins, particularly ethylene and propylene, from hydrocarbon, while maintaining excellent selectivity to light olefins. According to the process, by the use of a specific catalyst with hydrothermal stability, light olefins can be selectively produced in high yield with high selectivity from hydrocarbon feedstock, particularly full-range naphtha. In particular, the process can maintain higher cracking activity than the reaction temperature required in the prior thermal cracking process for the production of light olefins, and thus, can produce light olefins with high selectivity and conversion from hydrocarbon feedstock.

  • Patent number: 6528031
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for preparing a catalyst for the reduction of nitrogen oxides by the use of natural gas as a reducing agent in an excess oxygen atmosphere, which comprises of filling zeolite with an organic compound having molecular weight of 100˜250 prior to loading catalytically active noble metal components on a zeolite. Since the method according to the present invention supports catalytic active noble metal components on a zeolite under the condition that the pores of zeolite are filled with organic compounds, the noble metal component, which is essential for forming highly active NOx reduction catalyst, can be supported precisely on the desired positions of zeolite pores. Therefore, the NOx reduction catalysts prepared by the present invention are very useful for the purification of exhaust gas in an excessive oxygen atmosphere such as gas turbines, boilers or lean-burn automobiles.
