Robert A. Van Nordstrand has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Method of adding an alkaline earth metal to a zeolitic catalyst
    Patent number: 4547472
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for adding barium to a large-pore zeolite. The large-pore zeolite is ion exchanged with a barium nitrate solution at a pH of from 8 to 11; the ion exchanged large-pore zeolite is dried; the dried large-pore zeolite is calcined at a temperature of from 500.degree. C. to 700.degree. C.; and then the calcined large-pore zeolite is ion exchanged again with the barium nitrate solution at a pH of from 8 to 11.
