  • Publication number: 20220370991
    Abstract: Incorporating a bimetal to a lamellar MFI zeolite structure includes providing a bimetallic-incorporated lamellar zeolite catalyst including a sodium source, aluminum source, silicon source, surfactant, sulfuric acid, deionized water, metal source, and molecular template; dissolving the sodium source in the deionized water creating a basic solution; adding the sulfuric acid, aluminum source, molecular template, and silicon source to the basic solution creating a mixture and adding the metal source to the mixture; dissolving the surfactant in the deionized water creating a surfactant solution; combining the surfactant solution and basic solution; heating the combined surfactant solution and basic solution in a rotating autoclave creating a metal-containing zeolite including the surfactant and molecular template in a structure of the metal-containing zeolite; removing a synthesized zeolite from the autoclave; drying the synthesized zeolite and creating a dry zeolite powder; calcining the dry zeolite powder crea

  • Patent number: 10913902
    Abstract: Methods to convert an oxygen containing organic compound(s) to one or more water-free liquid hydrocarbons products. They make use of a catalytic process in a two-stage reactor system having a first reactor and a second reactor in series. Process design is described for effective conversion of aqueous low energy-dense aqueous solutions containing oxygen containing organic compound(s) to liquid hydrocarbons; the process design preferably employs the solid acid catalysts comprised of microporous aluminosilicates denoted as zeolites mixed with silicon carbide binder in series of two reactor system with capability of complete water removal.

  • Patent number: 8940655
    Abstract: Provided are substantially spherical, porous oxide microparticles having a plurality of substantially spherical voids, substantially spherical, porous oxide-organic polymer composite microparticles having a plurality of substantially spherical organic polymer domains. The microparticles can be made using a microdispersive suspension polymerization step to make microparticles having an organic polymer shell and a plurality of discrete substantially spherical organic nanoparticles. The microparticles can be used as polymerization catalyst supports.
