This basic manufacturing scheme can be augmented by extra processing steps including ion exchange and activation to alter the composition of the adsorbents, as required.

  • Patent number: 8877670
    Abstract: Catalysts are disclosed comprising fibrous substrates having silica-containing fibers with diameters generally from about 1 to about 50 microns, which act effectively as “micro cylinders.” Such catalysts can dramatically improve physical surface area, for example per unit length of a reactor or reaction zone. At least a portion of the silica, originally present in the silica-containing fibers of a fibrous material used to form the fibrous substrate, is converted to a zeolite (e.g., having a SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of at least about 150) that remains deposited on these fibers. The fibrous substrates possess important properties, for example in terms of acidity, which are useful in hydroprocessing (e.g., hydrotreating or hydrocracking) applications.

  • Patent number: 8877669
    Abstract: Provided are hydroisomerization catalysts for processing a bio-based feedstock into biodiesel fuels. These catalysts comprise a catalytic material and a matrix component. The catalytic material is made up of a molecular sieve that has a pre-loaded platinum group metal. The catalytic material and the matrix component are processed together to form the hydroisomerization catalyst. Methods of making these hydroisomerization catalysts include synthesizing a molecular sieve; purifying the molecular sieve; associating the molecular sieve with a platinum group metal in the absence of the matrix component to form the pre-loaded molecular sieve before formation of a catalyst body; mixing the pre-loaded molecular sieve with the matrix component to form a mixture; processing the mixture to form a catalyst body; and drying and calcining the catalyst body to form the hydroisomerization catalyst. These hydroisomerization catalysts can be used to process hydrodeoxygenated plant- or animal-derived feeds to yield a biofuel.

  • Patent number: 8846559
    Abstract: A catalyst and method of forming a catalyst for use in aromatic alkylation involves treating a zeolite, which may be a ZSM-5 zeolite, with a phosphorus-containing compound. The phosphorus-treated zeolite is combined with a binder material. The bound phosphorus-treated zeolite is treated with an aqueous solution of a hydrogenating metal compound by contacting the bound phosphorus-treated zeolite with the aqueous solution and separating the aqueous solution from the bound phosphorus-treated zeolite to form a hydrogenating-metal-containing zeolite catalyst. The catalyst may be used in preparing an alkyl aromatic product by contacting a hydrogenating-metal-containing zeolite catalyst with an aromatic alkylation feed of an aromatic compound and an alkylating agent under reaction conditions suitable for aromatic alkylation.
