  • Publication number: 20110270008
    Abstract: This invention relates to a process for pretreating a zeolite catalyst, specifically a zeolite which has been modified with phosphorus. The catalyst may be used in a process for alkylation of aromatics, specifically toluene methylation. The pretreatment is first to contact the catalyst with the process reactants used in a process for alkylation of aromatics for at least two hours at conditions to produce an alkylated aromatic product and then with a gaseous stream containing oxygen at a temperature and for a time until there is no oxygen consumption. The zeolite may be a MFI zeolite. This pretreatment procedure for a phosphorus-modified zeolite catalyst produces a catalyst which has increased run time, i.e., decreased deactivation rate, compared to a fresh catalyst, even after successive regenerations.

  • Publication number: 20110124489
    Abstract: A carbon-based combustion catalyst is obtained by calcining sodalite at a temperature of 600° C. or more. Alternatively, a carbon-based combustion catalyst is obtained by performing the following mixing step, drying step, and calcination step. In the mixing step, aluminosilicate (sodalite), and an alkali metal source, and/or an alkaline earth metal source are mixed in water to obtain a liquid mixture. In the drying step, the liquid mixture is heated to evaporate the water, thereby obtaining a solid. In the calcination step, the solid is calcined at a temperature of 600° C. or more so that a part or all of the sodalite structure is changed. The thus-obtained catalyst can cause carbon-based material to be stably burned and removed at a low temperature for a long time.

  • Patent number: 7939633
    Abstract: Decolorized and/or deodorized zein from corn products may be recovered in high yields using zeolite adsorbents. A solution of a zein-containing corn product in an aqueous alcohol solvent is contacted with a zeolite adsorbent under conditions effective for adsorption of color and odor impurities in the corn product onto the zeolite. Following this contact, the treated solution may be separated from the adsorbent and recovered, yielding substantially pure zein dissolved in the aqueous alcohol solvent. Optionally, the zein may be further purified by subsequently contacting the treated solution with an activated carbon adsorbent or a mixture of activated carbon and zeolite adsorbents to adsorb any residual color and/or odor impurities therefrom.
