Abstract: Described herein is a hydrocracking catalyst and process that may be used to make middle distillates and unconverted oil having beneficial yield and product characteristics. The process generally comprises contacting a hydrocarbon feed with the hydrocracking catalyst under hydrocracking conditions to produce a product comprising middle distillates and unconverted oil products. The hydrocracking catalyst comprises an SSZ-91 molecular sieve and a modifying metal selected from one or more Group 6 metals, and, optionally, one or more Group 8 to 10 metals, or a modifying metal selected from Group 8 to 10 metals and combinations thereof, and, optionally, one or more Group 6 metals. The hydrocracking catalyst may comprise a matrix material and/or an additional zeolite.

Abstract: A catalyst system has been designed that disrupts the sedimentation process. The catalyst system achieves this by saturating key feed components before the feed components are stripped into their incompatible aromatic cores. The efficacy of this disruptive catalyst system is particularly evident in a hydrocracker configuration that runs in two-stage-recycle operation. The catalyst is a self-supported multi-metallic catalyst prepared from a precursor in the hydroxide form, and the catalyst must be toward the top level of the second stage of the two-stage system.

Abstract: Provided is a hydro-regeneration catalyst system, comprising: (a) a first graded bed comprising a guard bed material; and (b) a second graded bed, fluidly connected to the first graded bed, comprising a noble metal catalyst on a support having mesopores and macropores; wherein the noble metal catalyst has an average pore diameter of 20 to 1,000 nm (0.02 to 1 ?m), a total pore volume of greater than 0.80 cc/g, and a macropore volume of 0.10 to 0.50 cc/g. Also provided is a guard bed system, comprising: (a) a first guard bed comprising a first adsorbent having 10 ?m or larger pores with an average pore diameter of 100 to 1,000 ?m; and (b) a second guard bed fluidly connected to the first guard bed, comprising a second adsorbent material having mesopores and macropores with a second average pore diameter of 20 to 1,000 nm.

Abstract: Spheroidal catalyst support, supported catalyst, and method of preparing and using the catalyst for hydrodemetallation of metal-containing heavy oil feedstocks are disclosed. The catalyst supports comprise titania alumina having 5 wt % or less titania and have greater than 30% percent of their pore volume in pores having a diameter of between 200 and 500 ?. Catalysts prepared from the supports contain Group 6, 9 and 10 metals or metal compounds supported on the titania alumina supports. Catalysts in accordance with the invention exhibit improved catalytic activity and stability to remove metals from heavy feedstocks during a hydrotreating process. The catalysts also provide increased sulfur and MCR conversion during a hydrotreating process.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of producing epoxy resins from hydrocarbons with olefinic double bonds, especially alkenes, by heterogeneous catalyzed oxidation in the gaseous phase. According to said method, and oxidic solid catalyst is released which contains iron as its active component at a concentration of 0.001-1% and alkali and/or alkaline earth elements as the promoters. N2O is used as the oxidizing agent. The granulated oxidic solid catalyst, especially on the basis of SiO2 as the carrier, has a specific surface of greater that 50 m2/g. The ratio of the concentrations of the active components to the promoter components is preferably between 1:100 and 10:1. The partial oxidation of hydrocarbons with olefinic double bonds, especially propene, results in propene selectivities of 10-70% at reaction temperatures of 300-500° C. and conversions of 2-30%.
