  • Phosphorous promotion of zeolite-containing catalysts
    Patent number: 9522392
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods of making, and processes of using phosphorous-promoted zeolite-containing catalysts in the conversion of hydrocarbonaceous materials such as hydrocarbons and biomass. Such disclosed methods of making include: spray drying of the catalyst precursor slurry followed by phosphorous promotion of the resulting spray dried material.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 14, 2014
    Date of Patent: December 20, 2016
    Assignee: Inaeris Technologies, LLC
    Inventors: Gopal Juttu, Kelsey Shogren, Bruce Adkins
  • Catalysts for thermo-catalytic conversion of biomass, and methods of making and using
    Patent number: 9518229
    Abstract: Disclosed are catalyst compositions including zeolite and silica components, methods of making, and processes of using in the thermo-catalytic conversion of biomass. Such disclosed methods of making include: i) spray drying of the catalyst precursor slurry at a pH below 1, or ii) the removal of ions such as sodium from the binder material prior to spray drying the catalyst precursor slurry at a pH below 2.7, or iii) spray drying the catalyst precursor including a pore regulating agent followed by steam treating, or iv) some combination of i), ii) and iii).
