Abstract: A method of making a multifunctional catalyst for upgrading pyrolysis oil includes contacting a zeolite support with a solution including at least a first metal catalyst precursor and a second metal catalyst precursor, the first metal catalyst precursor, the second metal catalyst precursor, or both, including a heteropolyacid. Contacting the zeolite support with the solution deposits or adsorbs the first metal catalyst precursor and the second catalyst precursor onto outer surfaces and pore surfaces of the zeolite support to produce a multifunctional catalyst precursor. The method further includes removing excess solution from the multifunctional catalyst precursor and calcining the multifunctional catalyst precursor to produce the multifunctional catalyst comprising at least a first metal catalyst and a second metal catalyst deposited on the outer surfaces and pore surfaces of the zeolite support.

Abstract: A method for producing Metal Organic Framework (MOF) having a framework that encapsulates a bio-molecule, the method comprising combining in a solution the bio-molecule and MOF precursors, wherein the bio-molecule promotes formation of the encapsulating framework. The method stems from a surprising effect that a bio-molecule can promote or trigger the formation of MOF when combined together in a solution with MOF precursors. That is, it has now been found that a bio-molecule can effectively act as a seed around which the framework forms, with the resulting framework encapsulating the bio-molecule.

Abstract: Method for the preparation of a metal exchanged crystalline microporous metalloaluminophosphate or mixtures containing metal exchanged microporous metalloaluminophosphates materials comprising the steps of providing a dry mixture containing a) one or more metalloaluminophosphates starting materials that exhibit ion exchange capacity, and b) one or more metal compounds; heating the mixture in a gaseous atmosphere containing ammonia to a temperature (less than 300 C) and for a time sufficient to initiate and perform a solid state ion exchange of ions of the metal compound and ions of the crystalline microporous material; and obtaining the metal-exchanged microporous metalloaluminophosphate material or mixtures containing the metal-exchanged microporous metalloaluminophosphate material.

Abstract: Provided are processes of removing or sequestering a basic or an acid gas from a sample by contacting the sample with a filtration media that includes a porous zirconium hydroxide impregnated with a transition metal reactant. The resulting filtration media has the ability to remove or sequester both acid and basic gases, is stable, and highly functional so as to be useful in protective equipment or other filtration systems.

Abstract: Methods are provided for synthesis of substantially pure phase ZSM-48 crystals having a fiber or needle morphology based on synthesis mixtures containing non-sodium alkali metal ions, where the structure directing agent in the synthesis mixture can be a diquaternary alkylammonium salt with a 6-carbon atom chain between the ammonium ions (diquat-6). The methods described herein can be used to make ZSM-48 crystals having a fiber and/or needle crystal morphology from a synthesis mixture containing a diquat-6 structure directing agent. The desired morphology can be achieved in part by reducing, minimizing, and/or eliminating the presence of sodium ions in the synthesis mixture.

Abstract: A novel MFI zeolite that when used as a catalyst, can be used for a selective catalytic reaction for larger molecules and provides a method for producing the MFI zeolite. The MFI zeolite includes uniform mesopores having a pore distribution curve which a peak-width thereof at half height (hw) is at most 20 nm (hw?20 nm) and a center value (?) of a maximum peak is 10 nm or more and 20 nm or less (10 nm???20 nm), and having a pore volume (pv) of the uniform mesopores of at least 0.05 mL/g (0.05 mL/g?pv); the MFI zeolite has no peak in a range of 0.1° to 3° in powder X-ray diffraction measurement with a diffraction angle represented by 2?; and the MFI zeolite has an average particle diameter (PD) of at most 100 nm (PD?100 nm).
Abstract: A catalyst can include a phosphorus modified zeolite having partly an ALPO structure. The ALPO structure can be determined by a signal between 35-45 ppm in 27Al MAS NMR spectrum. The zeolite can include at least one ten member ring in the structure thereof. The catalyst can also include a binder and one or more metal oxides. The catalyst can be used in processes in the presence of steam at high temperatures, such as temperatures that are above 300° C. and up to 800° C. The catalyst can be used in alcohol dehydration, olefin cracking, MTO processes, and alkylation of aromatic compounds with olefins and/or alcohols.
