Abstract: Presented is a process for the preparation of zeolitic material through condensed gel crystallizations. The present disclosure describes methods for improved preparation of zeolites by preparing an aqueous precursor mixture; removing at least 5 wt % of the total water from the aqueous precursor solution to create a solution with greater solids content; crystallizing the solution of step (b) to create a zeolite product. The resulting zeolites can show improved mesoporosity without any post-treatment to create mesoporosity. This effect is particularly prominent in ZSM-5 zeolites, for example.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a process for the preparation of zeolitic material through condensed gel crystallizations and their use in an FCC Catalyst composition. The present disclosure describes methods for improved preparation of zeolites by preparing an aqueous precursor mixture; removing at least 5 wt % of the total water from the aqueous precursor solution to create a solution with greater solids content; crystallizing the solution of step (b) to create a zeolite product. The resulting zeolite is used in an FCC catalyst composition comprising about 2 to about 80 wt % one or more zeolite, about 15 to about 50 wt % quasicrystalline boehmite, about 0 to about 50 wt % microcrystalline boehmite, and greater than about 0 to about 25 wt % silica.

Abstract: An adjustable hair tie where the band or cord can easily be adjusted to a variety of thicknesses of hair. The hair tie includes an elongated stretchable cord, a cleat, a plurality of apertures positioned along the length of the cleat, a first set of apertures forming a first passageway, and a second set of apertures forming a second passageway. The first end of the cord is securely attached at one end of the cleat, and the second end of the cord traverses through the second passageway. The free end of the cord is pulled under the application of force to crimp the cord and the cord loops around the cleat such that when the force is removed, the cord contracts, causing it to constrict, thereby securing the cord within the cleat and providing an easily adjustable sized cord loop to retain hair.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a process for the preparation of zeolitic material through condensed gel crystallizations and their use in an FCC Catalyst Additive composition. The present disclosure describes methods for improved preparation of zeolites by preparing an aqueous precursor mixture; removing at least 5 wt % of the total water from the aqueous precursor solution to create a solution with greater solids content; crystallizing the solution of step (b) to create a zeolite product. The resulting zeolite is used in an FCC Catalyst Additive composition comprising about 10 to about 70% wt % one or more zeolites, 0 wt % to about 25 wt % silica; 0 to about 50 wt % added alumina; and 0 to about 20% P2O5.
