Patent number: 7029651Abstract: The invention relates to a novel microporous crystalline material ITQ-19 used in the catalytic conversion of organic compounds, such as, for example, the dewaxing and isodewaxing of paraffins and the disproportionation of toluene. Said material has a characteristic X-ray diffractogram, a high absorption capacity and the empirical formula x(M1/nXO2):yYO2:(1?y)SiO2 wherein x has a value less than 0.2; y has a value less than 0.1; M is at least an inorganic cation with a +n charge; X is at least a chemical element having oxidation state +3, preferably selected among Al, Ga, B, Cr, Fe; Y is at least a chemical element with oxidation stated +4, preferably selected among Ge, Ti, Sn, V. The inventive material can be obtained by means of a preparation process involving the use of one or more organic additives in a reaction mix which is crystallized by heating.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2003Date of Patent: April 18, 2006Assignees: Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas, Universidad Politecnica de ValenciaInventors: Avelino Corma Canós, Urbano Díaz Morales, Vicente Fornes Segui

Patent number: 7008611Abstract: The invention relates to a microporous crystalline zeolite material having the empirical formula x(M1/nXO2):yYO2:(1?y)SiO2 wherein x has a value less than 0.02; y has a value less than 0.1; M is at least an inorganic cation with a +n charge; X is at least a chemical element having oxidation state +3, preferably selected from the group consisting of Al, Ga, B, Cr, Fe, and Y is at least a chemical element with oxidation state +4, preferably selected from the group consisting of Ge, Ti, Sn, V. The inventive material can be obtained by means of a process comprising: preparing a laminar precursor, crystallized from a reaction mixture; swelling the precursor in a solution in order to obtain a swollen laminar material; which is then washed and dried to obtain a swollen solid; delaminating the solid to obtain a delaminated material in suspension; separating the delaminating material and eliminating the organic remnants by cationic exchange and/or calcination.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2003Date of Patent: March 7, 2006Assignees: Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas, Universidad Politecnica de ValenciaInventors: Avelino Corma Canós, Urbano Díaz Morales, Vicente Fornes Segui

Patent number: 6843978Abstract: The present invention refers to a microporous material formed by oxygen, silicon, germanium, aluminum, boron, gallium, zirconium and/or titanium in its composition, called TIQ-6, to its catalytic applications in oxidation reactions, and to a method of the TIQ-6 material's preparation based on the synthesis of a gel with a titanium and/or zirconium content, its hydrothermal treatment under controlled conditions, and the treatment of the resulting laminar material with a solution of an organic compound containing a proton accepting group. This swollen material is subjected to a specific treatment to obtain a high external area delaminated solid. A material, METIQ-6, similar to the TIQ-6 material, but also having organic groups anchored on its surface incorporated by a post-synthesis process onto the TIQ-6 material is also claimed.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2002Date of Patent: January 18, 2005Assignees: Consejo Superior De Investigaciones Cientificas, Universidad Politecnica De ValenciaInventors: Avelino Corma Canós, Vicente Fornes Segui, Urbano Díaz Morales, Marcelo Eduardo Domine

Patent number: 6696033Abstract: The invention concerns a microporous crystalline material, with a characteristic X-ray diffractogram, made up by oxygen tetrahedra and one metal (T+4 and T+3) with the possibility of introducing surface acidity produced by the substitution in the network of some T+4 cations (normally Si+4) by T+3 cations (normally Al+3), which gives rise to a structural charge deficiency which can be offset by protons, Brönsted acidity, and/or cations with a high charge-radium ratio, Lewis acidity. The method of preparation is based on the modification of the laminar structure of a mixed oxide (normally SiO2, Al2O3) synthesized from a gel treated under controlled hydrothermal conditions, intercalating organic molecules with a proton-acceptor group and a long hydrocarbonic chain between its laminae. The intercalated material has laminae with a significant separation between them due to the presence between them of the organic chains.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2002Date of Patent: February 24, 2004Assignees: Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas, Universidad Politecnica de ValenciaInventors: Avelino Corma Canós, Vicente Fornes Segui, Urbano Díaz Morales

Patent number: 6555090Abstract: The invention deals with a microporous crystalline material, with a characteristic X-ray diffractogram, comprised of oxygen tetrahedra and a metal (T+4 and T+3) with the possibility of introducing surface acidity produced by the substitution in the lattice of some T+4 cations by T+3 cations, which gives rise to a structural charge deficiency that may be compensated by protons, Brönsted acidity, and/or high ratio radium charge cations, Lewis acidity; and the obtaining method thereof, based on the preparation of a gel, its hydrothermal treatment under controlled conditions and the treatment of the resulting laminar material with a solution of an organic compound, a swollen material being obtained, which is subjected to a treatment for the formation of interlaminar pillars of polymeric oxides, obtaining a pillared material that maintains the separation between the sheets, even after calcination.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2001Date of Patent: April 29, 2003Assignees: Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas, Universidad Politecnica de ValenciaInventors: Antonio Chica Lara, Avelino Corma Canós, Vicente Fornés Segúi, Urbano Díaz Morales

Patent number: 6469226Abstract: The invention concerns a microporous oxide material ITQ6, with a characteristic X-ray diffraction pattern, and surface areas for which microporous surface area may be of at least 20 m2/g the external surface area may be at least 350 m2/g and the total surface area may be at least 400 m2/g. It may be made via preparation of gel, its hydrothermal treatment, and the treatment of the resulting material with a swelling solution followed by at least partial delamination e.g., by mechanical agitation or ultrasonics. The final oxide material is calcined and, in its acid form or combined with metals, especially noble metals, is useful as catalyst for the isomerization of n-butene to isobutene, or in dewaxing and isodewaxing processes and as a catalytic cracking catalyst or as an additive in FCC catalysts.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2001Date of Patent: October 22, 2002Assignee: BP Oil International LimitedInventors: Antonio Chica Lara, Urbano Diaz Morales, Vicente Fornes Segui, Avelino Corma Canos
