Patent number: 11866389Abstract: According to embodiments, a process of forming a catalyst for aromatizing hydrocarbons may include enhancing a mesoporosity of a zeolite support by a base-leaching treatment, an acid-leaching treatment, or both to form a zeolite support having enhanced mesoporosity, mixing the zeolite support having enhanced mesoporosity with a solution containing zinc or gallium to disperse the zinc or gallium on the zeolite support having enhanced mesoporosity, and calcining the zeolite support having enhanced mesoporosity with zinc or gallium dispersed thereon to form a zinc- or gallium-doped zeolite catalyst having a mesopore volume of greater than 0.09 cm3/g and less than 0.20 cm3/g.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2022Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignees: Saudi Arabian Oil Company, King Fahd University of Petroleum and MineralsInventors: Yaming Jin, Ziyauddin S. Qureshi, Abdullah M. Aitani, Omer Refa Koseoglu, Mohammad Naseem Akhtar, Hassan Saeed Al-Awad Alasiri

Patent number: 11673845Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to processes for aromatizing hydrocarbons includes contacting the hydrocarbons with a catalyst including at least two different metal modifiers dispersed on surfaces of a hydrogen-form medium-pore zeolite support. Each of the at least two different metal modifiers comprises a metal selected from the group consisting of IUPAC Groups 3-12, and lanthanide metals, and the catalyst is substantially free of gallium. Contacting the hydrocarbons with the catalyst causes a least a portion of the hydrocarbons to undergo a chemical reaction to form aromatic hydrocarbons.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2020Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignees: Saudi Arabian Oil Company, King Fahd University of Petroleum and MineralsInventors: Ziyauddin S. Qureshi, Yaming Jin, Abdullah M. Aitani, Omer Refa Koseoglu, Mohammad Naseem Akhtar, Hassan Saeed Al-Awad Alasiri
