  • ALKYLATION REACTION USING DELAMINATED ZEOLITE SUPPORTS AS CATALYSTS
    Publication number: 20160122260
    Abstract: Provided is an improved alkylation process using a delaminated SSZ-70 catalyst. The process comprises contacting a hydrocarbon feedstock comprising olefins and isoparaffins with a catalyst comprising delaminated SSZ-70 under alkylating reaction conditions. The delaminated SSZ-70 offers a zeolite layer with a single unit cell of thickness in one dimension, allowing an elimination of mass transfer in comparison with regular SSZ-70. This prevents coke formation inside zeolite channels and improves catalyst stability.
