Abstract: Novel catalysts are provided for the polymerization of olefins such as ethylene. These catalysts comprise a novel amorphous aluminophosphate comprising, on a microlevel, sheets of aluminophosphate as well as spheres of aluminophosphate plus a chromium compound. These new catalysts are surprisingly active; result in more co-monomer incorporation than prior art catalysts and reduce the amount of low molecular weight material in the product.

Abstract: An amorphous aluminophosphate composition is provided which exhibits a microstructure of sheets and spheres of silica-modified aluminophosphate. Also provided is a method for preparing the composition comprising mixing an aqueous solution containing aluminum ions, phosphate ions and silica ions, with a neutralizing solution, wherein the mixing is conducted with sufficient shear to produce on a microlevel, sheets of silica-modified aluminophosphate and spheres of silica-modified aluminophosphate. A polymerization catalyst and a polymerization process are also provided.

Abstract: Disclosed is a new aluminophosphate composition which is (i) amorphous; (ii) has, on a microlevel, sheets of aluminophosphate as well as spheres. The new composition can be made, in one embodiment, by neutralizing a mixture of aluminum cations and phosphate anions with a base with vigorous mixing including shear forces sufficient to result in the formation of a mixture of sheets and spheres of aluminophosphate on a microlevel.

Abstract: A process is provided for the pretreatment of heavy oil feeds to demetalate and remove coke precursors. Inert, sorbent material is utilized in a reaction zone to effect the contaminant removal and is cycled to a regeneration zone. The sorbent also adsorbs sulfur oxides produced in a regeneration zone which are then cycled back to the reaction zone, converted to hydrogen sulfide, and removed from the system. The preferred sorbent material is high surface area alumina, having an average surface area in the circulating inventory of greater than 100 m.sup.2 /g.
