International Classification:

C07C 1/00
B01J 27/182

US Classification:

585640, 502208, 502214, 502263, 423709

Abstract:

A catalyst for converting methanol to light olefins and the process for making and using the catalyst are disclosed and claimed. SAPO-34 is a specific catalyst that benefits from its preparation in accordance with this invention. A seed material is used in making the catalyst that has a higher content of the EL metal than is found in the principal part of the catalyst. The molecular sieve has predominantly a roughly rectangular parallelepiped morphology crystal structure with a lower fault density and a better selectivity for light olefins.

International Classification:

C07C 6/12

US Classification:

585475

Abstract:

This invention embodies a catalyst and a process for transalkylation of C, C, and Caromatics to obtain a high yield of xylenes. The catalyst comprises a novel UZM-14 catalytic material comprising globular aggregates of crystallites having a MOR framework type with a mean crystallite length parallel to the direction of the 12-ring channels of about 60 nm or less and a mesopore volume of at least about 0. 10 cc/gram. The UZM-14 catalyst is particularly active and stable in a transalkylation process.

International Classification:

C07C 7/13

US Classification:

585831, 585820, 585828

Abstract:

A process for separating para-xylene from a mixture of Calkylaromatics comprises contacting the mixture of Calkylaromatics with a zeolitic binder-converted composition comprising (a) a zeolite X composition having at least a first zeolite X having a mean diameter not greater than 2. 7 microns, and a second zeolite X, wherein the second zeolite X is obtained by converting a binder material to the second zeolite X and the binder material is in a range from 5 to 50 wt % of the zeolite X composition; and (b) an unconverted binder material content, after conversion to the second zeolite X is complete, in a range from 0 to 3 wt % of the zeolite X composition. The zeolite X composition has an average Si/Al framework mole ratio in a range from 1. 0 to 1. 5, and a relative LTA intensity not greater than 1. 0, as determined by x-ray diffraction (XRD).

US Classification:

423718, 502 79

Abstract:

A zeolite X having (a) a Si/Al framework mole ratio in a range from 1. 0 to 1. 5; (b) a mean diameter not greater than 2. 7 microns; and (c) a relative LTA intensity not greater than 0. 35, as determined by x-ray diffraction (XRD). The relative LTA intensity is calculated as 100 times the quotient of a sample LTA XRD intensity divided by a reference XRD intensity of an LTA-type zeolite material. The intensities are summed for each LTA peak with Miller indices of (2 0 0), (4 2 0), and (6 2 2) at 7. 270. 16, 16. 290. 34 and 24. 270. 50 2θ.
