  • Publication number: 20240166526
    Abstract: A silica-alumina powder, a method for producing the same, and a fluid catalytic cracking catalyst including this silica-alumina powder are provided. The silica-alumina powder contains SiO2 within a predetermined range, has a specific surface area within a predetermined range, and has a pore volume and an acid amount within predetermined ranges. An alumina raw material includes one of boehmite, pseudo-boehmite, and mainly amorphous alumina gel. The method for producing the silica-alumina powder includes a step of mixing an aqueous solution including alumina hydrate and an aqueous solution containing a silica precursor to prepare an aqueous solution including a silica-alumina precursor; a step of adjusting the pH of the aqueous solution to be within a predetermined range, and then heat-treating the aqueous solution; and a step of cooling the aqueous solution or silica-alumina slurry, then separating and washing a solid, and then drying or further calcining the solid.

  • Patent number: 10618040
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a chabazite zeolite which does not easily peel from a substrate such as a honeycomb body even when the substrate has been coated therewith, while exhibiting excellent durability. The present invention relates to a chabazite zeolite for substrate coating, which includes (i) to (iv) below. (i) Si and Al are contained, (ii) an SiO2/Al2O3 molar ratio is in a range of 5<SiO2/Al2O3<10, (iii) an average crystal size is in a range of 0.05 ?m<average crystal size<1 ?m, and (iv) in a spectrum measured by 27Al-NMR, a ratio (ANFA/ATotal) between an area (ATotal) of all peaks in the spectrum and an area (ANFA) of peaks assigned to Al other than tetracoordinated Al is in a range of 20%?(ANFA/ATotal)?70%.

  • Publication number: 20030018226
    Abstract: There is provided a process for producing adamantane and analogues thereof, namely a hydrocarbon having an adamantane structure which process comprises isomerizing a tricyclic saturated hydrocarbon having ten or more carbon atoms in the presence of a catalyst in which one or two or more metals selected from among the metals belonging to group VIII in the Periodic Table (group 8 to 10 in the new Periodic Table) are supported on zeolite by means of an ion exchange method. It is made possible by the above process to efficiently produce adamantane and analogues thereof in the presence of a solid catalyst without the use of hydrogen chloride.
