  • Patent number: 6998037
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of zeolite ITQ-21 in a process of catalytic cracking of organic compounds. In said cracking process the zeolite ITQ-21 can be present in the catalyst as the sole zeolite component of same of combined with at least one second zeolite component. Moreover, said zeolite ITQ-21 can be present in the catalyst as unmodified zeolite ITQ-21 or as ITQ-21 modified zeolite. The preferred combinations, wherein the zeolite forms part of the cracking catalyst, are those wherein it is combined with at least one second zeolite component. The preferred modifications comprise, for example, a modification by means of post-synthesis treatment with phosphorous or a modification involving the introduction of acid centres. The catalytic process is preferably an FCC or DPC type hydrocarbon cracking process.

  • Publication number: 20030100439
    Abstract: Catalytic compositions are described for hydrocarbons cracking containing at least two zeolitic components of which at least one zeolitic component containing aluminium in its structure is selected from among ITQ-7 zeolites, intergrowths of ITQ-7 zeolites, ITQ-7 zeolites exchanged with rare earths, intergrowths of ITQ-7 zeolites exchanged with rare earths, and combinations of them. These combinations are of utility as catalysts for cracking in FCC units and permit C3 and C4 olefins to be efficiently obtained along with high yields of gasoline. Also described is the use of a zeolitic material containing aluminium in its structure and selected from among ITQ-7 zeolites, intergrowths of ITQ-7 zeolites, ITQ-7 zeolites exchanged with rare earths, intergrowths of ITQ-7 zeolites exchanged with rare earths, and combinations of them, as a catalytic material in hydrocarbon catalytic cracking processes.
