Abstract: A process for producing a hydrocarbon product using a catalyst prepared from an ultra-stable Y-type zeolite having a silica/alumina ratio from about 27 to about 33 with the free acid sites passivated using a basic nitrogen-containing compound. The hydrocarbon product shows improved selectivity for jet fuel.

Abstract: This invention provides an improved hydrocracking catalyst which includes an inorganic oxide component, such as alumina, a hydrogenation component, such as a base metal or a noble metal and a zeolite component which is a Y-zeolite. The catalyst in this invention is particularly characterized in that the zeolite component of the catalyst has a number average crystal size of less than about 0.5 micron, preferably less than about 0.4 micron. In the process aspect of this invention the use of the above catalyst in hydrocracking processes provides improved liquid fraction yields, particularly yields of high octane gasoline, diesel fuel and premium quality jet fuel. The catalyst also produces a corresponding decrease in production of light gasses, while providing no significant increase in coking or decrease in catalyst life. In another aspect this invention provides a Y-type zeolite having an average crystal size of less than about 0.5 micron which comprises less than about 0.5 wt.

Abstract: A simplified method of manufacture of noble metal/zeolite catalysts involves impregnation of the formed catalyst base with a solution of the noble metal and an ammonium salt. Catalysts having a highly uniform radial distribution of the noble metal are prepared.

Abstract: Certain hydrophobic derivatives of zeolite Y are found to be unusually selective and active catalysts with adequate stability for use in the conversion of high boiling petroleum feedstocks into fuel gases, gasoline and middle distillate products such as diesel and turbine fuel.

Abstract: Electrochemical cells having an oxidizable anode material, such as lithium, a cathode material, such as carbon or (C.sub.4 F).sub.n, upon the surface of which the solvent material is electrochemically reduced during operation of the cell, and an electrolytic solution comprising an inorganic solvent and a solute dissolved therein. The electrolytic solution further contains an additive such as sulfur monochloride (S.sub.2 Cl.sub.2), which is capable of dissolving any sulfur generated during operation of the cell and which is unreactive with the other components of the cell.
