  • Patent number: 7494951
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the manufacture of catalysts used for producing para-xylene by toluene shape selective alkylation. The invention is primarily used for solving the problems in the old technology, e.g., high requirements on the environment and great treatment of waste water containing organic amines when synthesizing ZSM-5 molecular sieves by using an organic amine as the template agent; small and non-homogeneous particles of the molecular sieves when synthesizing ZSM-5 molecular sieves by using an alcohol or ether as the template agent, such that the catalyst prepared thereby has low catalytic selectivity and low toluene conversion rate, etc. Said problems are better solved in the present invention by synthesizing ZSM-5 molecular sieves using the combination of organic amines and alcohols or ethers as the template agents (having a weight ratio of organic amines/alcohols=0.05-150, and organic amines/ethers=0.05-150), and modifying with organosilicon so as to obtain the catalysts.

  • Patent number: 7488700
    Abstract: Disclosed are a hydrothermally stable porous molecular sieve catalyst and a preparation method thereof. The catalyst consists of a product obtained by the evaporation of water from a raw material mixture comprising a molecular sieve having a framework of Si—OH—Al—, a water-insoluble metal salt and a phosphate compound. The catalyst maintains its physical and chemical stabilities even in an atmosphere of high temperature and humidity. Accordingly, the catalyst shows excellent catalytic activity even when it is used in a severe process environment of high temperature and humidity in heterogeneous catalytic reactions, such as various oxidation/reduction reactions, including catalytic cracking reactions, isomerization reactions, alkylation reactions and esterification reactions.

  • Patent number: 7307034
    Abstract: A transalkylation process for reacting carbon number nine aromatics with toluene to form carbon number eight aromatics such as para-xylene is herein disclosed. The process is based on the discovery that deactivating contaminants present in typical hydrocarbon feeds, such as chlorides, can be removed with an alumina guard bed prior to contacting with a transalkylation catalyst. Effective transalkylation catalysts have a solid-acid component such as mordenite, and a metal component such as rhenium. The invention is embodied in a process, a catalyst system, and an apparatus. The invention provides for longer catalyst cycle life when processing aromatics under commercial transalkylation conditions.

  • Patent number: 7304011
    Abstract: Compositions for reduction of NOx generated during a catalytic cracking process, preferably, a fluid catalytic cracking process, are disclosed. The compositions comprise a fluid catalytic cracking catalyst composition, preferably containing a Y-type zeolite, and a particulate NOx composition containing particles of a zeolite having a pore size ranging from about 3 to about 7.2 Angstoms and a SiO2 to Al2O3 molar ratio of less than about 500. Preferably, the NOx reduction composition contains NOx reduction zeolite particles bound with an inorganic binder. In the alternative, the NOx reduction zeolite particles are incorporated into the cracking catalyst as an integral component of the catalyst. Compositions in accordance with the invention are very effective for the reduction of NOx emissions released from the regenerator of a fluid catalytic cracking unit operating under FCC process conditions without a substantial change in conversion or yield of cracked products, e.g., gasoline and light olefins.

  • Patent number: 7285511
    Abstract: A method of modifying a zeolite catalyst to increase para-xylene selectivity of the zeolite catalyst in toluene methylation reactions is provided. The method includes forming a slurry of a ZSM-5-type zeolite and an aqueous solution of a phosphorus compound. Water is removed from the slurry to provide a non-steamed, phosphorus treated ZSM-5 zeolite catalyst without deposition of phosphorus onto the catalyst by organophosphorus vapor deposition. The resulting non-steamed, phosphorus treated ZSM-5 zeolite catalyst has a pore volume of from 0.2 ml/g or less and provides greater than 80% para-xylene selectivity of mixed xylenes when used in toluene methylation.

  • Patent number: 7273828
    Abstract: A process for preparing a transalkylation catalyst, the catalyst itself, and a transalkylation process for using the catalyst are herein disclosed. The catalyst comprises rhenium metal on a solid-acid support such as mordenite, which has been treated with a sulfur-based agent. Such treatment reduces the amount of methane produced by metal hydrogenolysis in a transalkylation process wherein heavy aromatics like A9+ are reacted with toluene to produce xylenes. Reduced methane production relative to total light ends gas production results in lower hydrogen consumption and lower reactor exotherms.

  • Patent number: 7244409
    Abstract: A process is described for producing synthetic zeolites useful as catalysts with a MFI structure, a Si/Al atomic ratio from about 8 to 45 to 1 and very small primary crystallites. A Si source, an Al source and an organic template are reacted with one another under hydrothermal conditions. The process is carried out in the presence of seed crystals with an average particle size from roughly 10 to 100 nm, preferably from 20 to 50 nm, prepared from an earlier batch of synthetic zeolites with a MFI structure, without separation from the mother liquor. The process further includes conversion by ion exchange of the zeolites into an H form. Moldings may also be produced by the addition of binders and optionally catalytically active base metal and/or precious metal components before or after the moldings are produced. The zeolites as claimed in the invention are characterized by the combination of the following features: (a) Si/Al atomic ratio 8 to 45:1 (b) Size of the primary crystallites roughly 0.01 to 0.
