Patent number: 7378076Abstract: The invention involves a process for production of macrostructures of a microporous material. The process is characterized by the fact that seeds formed in or introduced by ion exchange or adsorption to a porous organic ion exchanger with the desired size, shape and porosity are made to grow and form a continuous structure by further deposition of inorganic material from a synthesis solution under hydrothermal conditions. The organic ion exchanger can be eliminated by chemical destruction or dissolution and, in so doing, leaves behind an inorganic microporous structure with the size and shape of the employed organic ion exchanger.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2005Date of Patent: May 27, 2008Assignee: ExxonMobil Chemical Patents Inc.Inventors: Per Johan Sterte, Lubomira Borislavova Tosheva, Valentin Panov Valtchev

Patent number: 7094390Abstract: There is provided macrostructures of porous inorganic material which can have controlled size, shape, and/or porosity and a process for preparing the macrostructures. The macrostructures comprise a three-dimension network of particles of porous inorganic materials. The process for preparing the macrostructures involves forming an admixture containing a porous organic ion exchanger and a synthesis mixture capable of forming the porous inorganic material and then converting the synthesis mixture to the porous inorganic material. After formation of the composite material, the porous organic ion exchanger can be removed from the composite material to obtain the macrostructures.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2005Date of Patent: August 22, 2006Assignee: ExxonMobil Chemical Patents Inc.Inventors: Per Johan Sterte, Lubomira Borislavova Tosheva, Valentin Panov Valtchev, Svetlana Ivanova Mintova

Patent number: 6932959Abstract: There is provided macrostructures of porous inorganic material which can have controlled size, shape, and/or porosity and a process for preparing the macrostructures. The macrostructures comprise a three-dimension network of particles of porous inorganic materials. The process for preparing the macrostructures involves forming an admixture containing a porous organic ion exchanger and a synthesis mixture capable of forming a porous inorganic material and then converting the synthesis mixture to a solid porous inorganic material. After formation of the composite material, the porous organic ion exchanger can be removed from the composite material to obtain the macrostructures, either before or after the porous inorganic material is hydrothermally treated with a structure directing agent to convert at least a portion of such porous inorganic material to a crystalline molecular sieve composition. The resulting macrostructure is composed of particles of the crystalline molecular sieve composition.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2003Date of Patent: August 23, 2005Assignee: ExxonMobil Chemical Patents Inc.Inventors: Per Johan Sterte, Lubomira Borislavova Tosheva

Patent number: 6177373Abstract: The invention is comprised of a procedure for applying molecular sieve films to the surface of different substrates. This procedure is characterized in that microcrystals of the molecular sieves in question bind to the substrate surface in a first step as a monolayer, and are then, in a second step, allowed to grow into a thin, continuous and dense film. Molecular sieve films are of interest in application areas such as preparing membranes, catalysts, sensor devices and polymer reinforcing fillers.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 1999Date of Patent: January 23, 2001Assignee: Exxon Chemicals Patents IncInventors: Per Johan Sterte, Jonas Hedlund, Brian J.

Patent number: 5863516Abstract: The present invention relates to colloidal suspensions of discrete particles of colloidal zeolite and a method for preparing such zeolite from clear tetraalkylammonium stabilized aluminiumsilicate solutions. Smaller amounts of well defined and controlled metal hydroxide solutions are added to these alumiumsilicate solutions to enable the synthesis of a specific zeolite as well as to control zeolite yield. The colloidal suspensions are characterized by an average particle size of less than 250 nanometers and preferably, less than 200 nanometers together with the fact that the particle size distribution expressed as the geometric standard deviation is less than 1.30 and preferably less than 1.20. Zeolite sols synthesized according to this invention display Tyndall light scattering typical for colloidal suspensions as well as a very low rate of sedimentation due to the small particle size.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 1997Date of Patent: January 26, 1999Assignee: Exxon Chemical Patent Inc.Inventors: Jan-Erik Otterstedt, Per Johan Sterte, Brian J.
