Abstract: This invention is related to the synthesis of organic carbonates from carbon dioxide and epoxides. It is particularly focused on the production of propylene cyclic carbonate from propylene oxide. The proposed catalytic materials includes a support made of aluminum oxyhydroxide (Catapal B®), nitric acid, acetic acid and/or phosphoric acid. An important stage is the physical and chemical conditioning of the catalytic materials and to this end, experimental methodologies such as spheronization and thermal treatments were implemented prior the evaluation process.

Abstract: The present invention deals with a process for catalytic cracking of hydrocarbons comprising vacuum gas oil, hydrotreated vacuum gas oil, unconventional light crude oil, preferably unconventional light crude oil type shale/tight oil and its blends with conventional vacuum gas oil, in order to generate products of major commercial value in the field of fuels, getting improved gasoline and coke yield, as well as the procedure for the preparation of a catalyst with essential physical properties of density and particle size to uphold it in a fluidized bed under the operation conditions in the catalyst evaluation unit at micro level, wherein the catalyst particles achieve a catalytic performance similar to fluidized microspheres in a reactor, without appreciable generation of fine particles.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a selective adsorption process aimed at reducing the content of nitrogen organic compounds (NOC's) that is present in hydrotreating loads (HDT) for the production of ultra-low-sulfur diesel (ULSD below 15 ppm), which is carried out at ambient temperature, atmospheric pressure, without hydrogen, using adsorbing materials with organic metal structure MIL-101-Cr-MX+ (MOF MIL-101-Cr-MX+), where MX+ can be any metal cation such as Mg2+, Al3+ or Ti4+. Likewise, the present invention considers the preparation of extrudates and the regeneration of the employed MOF adsorbent materials. In this sense, it is worth noting that the diesel HDT loads to which the present invention is referred to are hydrocarbon currents with distillation temperatures ranging from 150 to 400° C.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for obtaining materials with Metal Organic atomic structure and called MOF (MOF: Metal Organic Framework) type MIL-101 (Cr) and MIL-101-Cr-MX+ (MIL: Material from Institute Lavoisier), where MX+ can be any metal cation, such as Mg2+, Al3+ or Ti4+, using for its synthesis metal epoxides and alkoxides, avoiding the use of hydrofluoric acid (HF) or bases as synthesis controlling agents. The process of the present invention for the preparation of materials MOF MIL-101 (Cr) and MOF MIL-101-Cr-MX+ where MX+ can be any metal cation, such as Mg2+, Al3+ or Ti4+, consisting of: a) Synthesizing MOF MIL-101 (Cr) with epoxides, or Synthesizing MOF MIL-101-Cr-MX+ with metal alkoxides; and b) Purifying the synthesized MOF. in order to obtain 100% pure materials, with a controlled mesoporosity associated with a hysteresis P/P0 from 0.7 to 0.99, BET surface area from 2,500 to 3,500 m2/g, pore volume from 1.1 to 2.2 cm3/g, and pore diameter from 15 to 55 nm.
