Abstract: A hydrogenation-acid catalysis bifunctional catalyst, based on the mass of the catalyst, contains 80-99.8% of a silica-alumina molecular sieve component, 0.2-2% of a metal component with hydrogenation activity supported on the molecular sieve, and 0-20% of a hydrocarbyl modifying component. The hydrogenation active metal is selected from ruthenium, platinum, palladium, copper, nickel, or a combination thereof. The hydrocarbyl modifying component is a C1-20 hydrocarbyl. The catalyst has dual functions of hydrogenation and acid catalysis, and is suitable for benzene hydroalkylation reaction and alkane hydroisomerization reaction. It can be used in the benzene hydroalkylation to produce cyclohexylbenzene with high benzene conversion rate, high product selectivity, and less by-product cyclohexane.

Abstract: Various embodiments of a process for converting light alkanes to diesel are disclosed. In general, the process includes reacting a feed rich in one or more light alkanes with an aromatization catalyst to convert the light alkanes to aromatic hydrocarbons, reacting the aromatic hydrocarbons with a hydroalkylation catalyst to convert the aromatic hydrocarbons into diesel range hydrocarbons, and hydrogenating the diesel range hydrocarbons to produce a diesel product.

Abstract: The disclosed process relates to removal of benzene from a reformate stream and in turn providing gasoline and diesel products along with commodity chemicals (such as cyclohexylbenzene). The disclosed process further relates to the upgrading of heart-cut reformate benzene to higher value products.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a Fe-based hydrogenation catalyst having Fe as a primary active metal component, and zinc and potassium as a first co-active metal component. The molar ratio of the primary active metal component to the first co-active metal component is 0.5-200:1. The Fe-based hydrogenation catalyst in present invention overcomes the problem of limiting to the active metal components as used over decades for the conventional hydrogenation catalyst, and thus has long-term values for industrial application.
