  • Patent number: 11884885
    Abstract: A process is provided for producing a liquid hydrocarbon material suitable for use as a fuel or as a blending component in a fuel. The process includes co-processing a pyrolysis oil derived from a waste plastic raw material and a biorenewable feedstock comprising triglycerides in a catalytic cracking process in a presence of a solid catalyst at catalytic cracking conditions to provide a cracking product. The cracking product may be fractionated to provide at least one of a gasoline fraction and a middle distillate fraction.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20230135430
    Abstract: A method is disclosed making a molecular of TON framework type having unique properties. The method uses 1,3,4-trimethylimidazolium cations as a structure directing agent and a combined source of silicon and aluminum selected from alumina-coated silica and aluminosilicate zeolites. The obtained molecular sieve can be used in processes for dewaxing paraffinic hydrocarbon feedstocks.

  • Patent number: 11591231
    Abstract: An organotemplate-free synthetic process for the production of a zeolite of TON framework type structure is provided. The process includes the steps of: (1) preparing a mixture comprising: (a) an alumina-coated silica; (b) a source of an alkali metal; (c) an alcohol; (d) a source of hydroxide ions; (e) seed crystals comprising a zeolitic material having a TON framework type structure; and (f) water; and (2) crystallizing the mixture obtained in step (1).

  • Publication number: 20220399085
    Abstract: A computer implemented method for designing chemical reactions for catalyst construction is described. The method includes extracting historical data including historic chemical reaction data and historic catalyst construction yield data and converting the historic chemical reaction data into graph models to represent molecular structure data. The method also includes incorporating the graph models into a chemical reaction algorithm and training a vectorized cognitive deep learning network of the chemical reaction algorithm by using the graph models and a property of the historic chemical reaction data to produce a catalyst chemical reaction model. Further, the method includes validating the catalyst chemical reaction model by inputting the historic chemical reaction data and comparing a generated property corresponding to the catalyst chemical reaction model to the property of the historic chemical reaction data. Lastly, the method includes updating the training of the catalyst chemical reaction model.
