  • Patent number: 9233856
    Abstract: A process for removing Hg2+ ions from a liquid stream is disclosed. The process involves contacting the liquid stream with specified UOP Zeolitic Materials. These molecular sieves are particularly effective in removing Hg2+ ions from aqueous streams even in the presence of Mg2+ and Ca2+ ions. The effective molecular sieves have an intermediate range of Si/Al ratios between about 2 and 20 and preferably between 3 and 10.

  • Patent number: 8747807
    Abstract: A method for preparing a family of zeolites, examples of which have been designated UZM-5, UZM-5P and UZM-6, and are represented by the empirical formula Mmn+Cgh+Rrp+Al(1-x)ExSiyOz The method includes forming a Charge Density Mismatch (CDM) reaction mixture comprising reactive sources of Al, Si, optionally a framework element, E, and at least one organic nitrogen containing cation template, C, in the hydroxide form. After the CDM mixture is mixed while aging, an organic cation crystallization template, R, and at least one alkali metal or alkaline earth metal, M, is added. The combined final reaction mixture is reacted with mixing to produce the zeolite, which may be used in various hydrocarbon conversion processes.

  • Patent number: 8304593
    Abstract: The present invention comprises a hydrocarbon-conversion process using an improved MgAPSO-31 molecular sieve which demonstrates a favorable combination of conversion and selectivity in aromatics conversion. The sieve has a specific combination of crystal configuration, being limited in diameter and length, specified crystallinity as measured by an X-Ray Diffraction Index (XRDI), and a narrow range of magnesium content.
