Patent number: 11992827Abstract: The present disclosure provides msect-4 molecular sieves with OFF and ERI topologies, a preparation method therefor, and applications thereof. An eight-membered ring small pore molecular sieve used as a raw material is dispersed in an aqueous phase. Following that, caustic potash, an aluminum source, and an organic structure-directing agent (OSDA) are added. The pH value is then adjusted to be greater than 10, and a silicon source is introduced to attain the desired silicon-aluminum ratio, followed by stirring reaction, aging, crystallization, filtration, washing, ammonia exchange reaction, drying, and calcination. The msect-4 molecular sieves with OFF and ERI topologies, the preparation method therefor, and applications exhibit excellent hydrothermal stability, a plurality of adsorption sites exposed by a regular bone-like structure, and a large specific surface area.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2023Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignees: CHINA AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY AND RESEARCH CENTER CO., LTD, CATARC AUTOMOTIVE TEST CENTER (TIANJIN) CO., LTDInventors: Zhenguo Li, Kaixiang Li, Zhixin Wu, Xiaoning Ren, Jianhai Wang, Yuankai Shao, Hanming Wu, Li Zhang, Cheng Lv, Lingfeng Jia

Patent number: 11992828Abstract: The present disclosure provides molecular sieves with intergrown phases of AEI and CHA topologies and a catalyst thereof. A preparation method for the molecular sieves include the following steps: mixing a hydroxyphosphono organic alkali R with an aluminum source and a silicon source to obtain a sol-gel precursor, putting the sol-gel precursor into a closed hydrothermal synthesis reactor for reaction, filtering the reaction solution, washing, drying, and calcination to obtain the molecular sieves with intergrown phases of AEI and CHA topologies. The molecular sieves and the catalyst thereof can be directly synthesized under mild conditions with a hydroxyphosphono organic alkali as a structure-directing agent and a phosphorus source, have a pH value of 6-9 and low requirements for corrosion resistance of production devices, and are suitable for large-scale production.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2023Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignees: CHINA AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY AND RESEARCH CENTER CO., LTD, CATARC AUTOMOTIVE TEST CENTER (TIANJIN) CO., LTDInventors: Kaixiang Li, Zhenguo Li, Xiaoning Ren, Yuankai Shao, Jianhai Wang, Li Zhang, Lingfeng Jia, Cheng Lv

Patent number: 11992829Abstract: Methods of solid catalyst manufacture using a peptization agent, and formed solid catalyst materials having improved structural properties are provided. The peptization agent includes one or more oxidized disulfide oil (“ODSO”) compounds. These ODSO compounds peptization agents serve to improve the adhesion characteristics of the binder material, and as a result increase the particle strength of the final catalyst particles.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2022Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: SAUDI ARABIAN OIL COMPANYInventors: Guanghui Zhu, Omer Refa Koseoglu

Patent number: 11992830Abstract: The present invention deals with activation and start-up procedures of catalysts for the deep HDS of middle distillates for producing ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD), consisting of two in situ activation stages: at stage 1, TGA is applied, and at stage 2, DMDS is used; kerosene is the transport means at these stages, which are carried out under given temperature and pressure conditions, and feedstock and hydrogen flows at established times. After the activation of the catalyst in situ, the stabilization stage takes place under selected temperature and pressure conditions, feedstock and hydrogen flow at established times, with which the stabilization of the highly dispersed metallic sulfides is achieved and, in this way, the activity of the catalysts removing contaminants for the production of ULSD is increased.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2023Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: INSTITUTO MEXICANO DEL PETRÓLEOInventors: Gustavo Jesús Marroquín Sánchez, Pedro Martin Vega Merino, Carlos Cureño Rodríguez, Patricia Rayo Mayoral, Salvador Castillo Cervantes, José Antonio Toledo Antonio, Jorge Ancheyta Juárez, Magally Cruz Juárez
