Patent number: 6982074Abstract: A family of crystalline aluminosilicate zeolites designated UZM-5HS and derived from UZM-5 have been synthesized. The aluminum content of the UZM-5HS is lower than that of the starting UZM-5 thus changing its ion exchange capacity and acidity. These UZM-5HS are represented by the empirical formula: M1an+Al(1?x)ExSiy?Oz? and are prepared by treatments such as acid extraction and AFS treatments.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2002Date of Patent: January 3, 2006Assignee: UOP LLCInventors: Deng-Yang Jan, Jaime G. Moscoso, Gregory J. Lewis, Michael G. Gatter, Beckay J. Mezza, Susan C. Koster

Patent number: 6890511Abstract: An aluminosilicate zeolite and substituted versions designated UZM-15 have been synthesized. These zeolites are prepared using an organoammonium cation as a template in which at least one organic group has at least 2 carbon atoms. An example of such a cation is diethyldimethylammonium cation. The template can optionally comprise other organoammonium cations, alkali metals and alkaline earth metals. These UZM-15 materials can be dealuminated by various processes to provide UZM-15HS compositions. Both the UZM-15 and UZM-15HS compositions are useful as catalysts or catalyst supports in various process such as the conversion of cyclic hydrocarbons to non-cyclic hydrocarbons and olefin oligomerization.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2003Date of Patent: May 10, 2005Assignee: UOP LLCInventors: Lisa M. Rohde, Gregory J. Lewis, Stephen T. Wilson, Deng-Yang Jan, R. Lyle Patton, Susan C. Koster, Jaime G. Moscoso, Mark A. Miller, Michael G. Gatter

Patent number: 4996380Abstract: A process for separating the isomers of dichlorobenzene from a feed mixture of the same. Separation of the isomers is effected by selective absorption and desorption and is susceptible to various flow schemes for performing continuous adsorptive separations.
