Patent number: 5082816Abstract: Catalysts comprising lead doped zirconium compounds are particularly effective in an oxidative process for upgrading low molecular weight alkanes to higher molecular weight hydrocarbons, and especially for upgrading methane to form ethane and ethylene. The catalysts can be employed in a process performed at elevated temperatures and in the presence or absence of gaseous oxygen. The catalysts are substantially free of PbO and uncombined Pb and remain stable for long periods of time.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 1990Date of Patent: January 21, 1992Assignee: The Standard Oil CompanyInventors: Raymond G. Teller, James F. Brazdil, Jr., Joseph P. Bartek, Ann M. Brussee

Patent number: 4668653Abstract: A method for incorporation of metals into antimony oxide to form a compound having the formulaSb.sub.100 M.sub.x A.sub.y O.sub.zwhereM is Mo, Te or both,A is V, Nb, Ta, W, Bi and mixtures thereof,x is 0.1 to 5, y is 0 to 10 and z is a number sufficient to satisfy the valence of the other elements.The method compriss mixing an antimony compound with an oxide or salt of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of M and A and heating the mixture to a temperature of up to about 850.degree. C. to produce the compound, the Sb.sub.2 O.sub.4 component of which is substantially present in the beta form. These steps are also employed in a method for converting low temperature antimony oxide into high temperature antimony oxide. High temperature antimony oxides containing Mo or Te are novel.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 1985Date of Patent: May 26, 1987Assignee: The Standard Oil CompanyInventors: Raymond G. Teller, James F.
