  • Publication number: 20100234657
    Abstract: There is provided a zeolite-containing molded catalyst for use in production of aromatic hydrocarbon compounds by catalytic cyclization from light hydrocarbon feedstock, whereby deterioration due to precipitation of carbonaceous material during the reaction and permanent degradation due to contact with high-temperature steam during the catalyst regeneration process are suppressed to thereby allow stable production with high yield over a long period of time. In this catalyst, the zeolite contained in the zeolite-containing molded catalyst fulfills the following conditions (1), (2) and (3): (1) the zeolite is a medium pore diameter zeolite with a pore diameter of from 5 to 6.5 ?; (2) the zeolite has a primary particle diameter in a range of from 0.02 to 0.

  • Patent number: 6894163
    Abstract: ?-Caprolactam is produced by contacting cyclohexanone oxime with a solid acid catalyst in the gaseous phase to effect a rearrangement reaction of the cyclohexanone oxime. The solid acid catalyst is produced by calcining a dried catalyst precursor that can be a zeolite, a crystalline clay mineral and at least one substance selected from an inorganic oxide and a compound which forms the inorganic oxide by calcination. The inorganic oxide includes at least one element selected Groups 4, 13 and 14 of the Periodic Table, and the inorganic oxide excludes oxides contained in a crystalline form in the zeolite and the crystalline clay mineral. Alternately, the rearrangement reaction occurs in the presence of a polyhydric alcohol compound R1—O—R2—OH (where R1 represents C1-C5 alkyl or phenyl, and R2 represents C2-C5 alkylene).
