Abstract: A process for selectively making hydrocracked n-paraffins from hydrocarbon compositions comprising heavy n-paraffins is disclosed. The process generally comprises the use of a hydrocracking catalyst comprising an unsulfided low acidity noble metal containing zeolite. The invention is useful for making lighter n-paraffin products for various applications, generally including upgrading hydrocarbon feedstocks to produce fuels, solvents, lubricants, chemicals and other hydrocarbonaceous compositions, and more particularly, as feedstocks for ethylene and linear alkyl benzene production and as jet and diesel fuel blend components.

Abstract: A zeolite material is provided having non-boron heteroatoms on the external surface of the zeolitic material lattice framework and B heteroatoms, or silanols created from boron hydrolysis, throughout the remainder of the lattice framework. The lattice framework of the zeolite material comprises large pore 12 member ring or larger openings at the external surface of the framework, and 10 member ring or smaller openings beneath the external surface large pore openings. Also provided is a process for preparing the zeolitic material.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to the synthesis of novel delaminated layered zeolite precursor materials prepared by fluoride/chloride anion-promoted exfoliation. The method comprises, for example, using a combination of fluoride and chloride anions at a mild pH in aqueous solution to affect delamination of a layered zeolite precursor. The method can also comprise using a combination of fluoride and chloride anions in a non-aqueous solution comprising an organic solvent. The method may be used in conjunction with either acidification or sonication, or both. The resulting delaminated zeolite precursors are then isolated. Precursors that are then isolated lack amorphous silica content. The UCB-1 product is an example of such a novel oxide material and is obtained in yields in excess of 90% without the need for sonication.
