Patent number: 7718840Abstract: Disclosed is a process for producing light olefins from hydrocarbon feedstock. The process is characterized in that a porous molecular sieve catalyst consisting of a product obtained by evaporating water from a raw material mixture comprising a molecular sieve with a framework of Si—OH—Al— groups, a water-insoluble metal salt, and a phosphate compound, is used to produce light olefins, particularly ethylene and propylene, from hydrocarbon, while maintaining excellent selectivity to light olefins. According to the process, by the use of a specific catalyst with hydrothermal stability, light olefins can be selectively produced in high yield with high selectivity from hydrocarbon feedstock, particularly full-range naphtha. In particular, the process can maintain higher cracking activity than the reaction temperature required in the prior thermal cracking process for the production of light olefins, and thus, can produce light olefins with high selectivity and conversion from hydrocarbon feedstock.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2006Date of Patent: May 18, 2010Assignees: SK Energy Co., Ltd., Korea Research Institute of Chemical TechnologyInventors: Sun Choi, Yong Seung Kim, Deuk Soo Park, Suk Joon Kim, Il Mo Yang, Hee Young Kim, Yong Ki Park, Chul Wee Lee, Won Choon Choi, Kwang An Ko, Na Young Kang

Patent number: RE41314Abstract: A gas adsorbing element is formed into a honeycomb-shaped laminate having many small channels penetrating from one end surface to the other and in which hydrophobic high silica zeolite powder is exposed on the walls of the small channels. The hydrophobic high silica zeolite is, for example, a zeolite which is produced by removing most of the aluminum component from an ordinary zeolite. In forming the honeycomb-shaped laminate, it is favorable that non-flammable sheets are laminated and the laminate is impregnated with a dispersion of high silica zeolite powder and with an inorganic binder, and that the high silica zeolite powder is fixed in fiber gaps and on the surface of the non-flammable paper. It is desirable that the non-flammable sheet is a low density inorganic fiber paper and is baked either before or after forming the honeycomb-shaped laminate.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 1991Date of Patent: May 4, 2010Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Seibu GikenInventors: Toshimi Kuma, Chieko Kuma
