Latest Patents
One of Mei-Hwei Chen's most recent patents is titled "Novel silicon-modified catalyst Si/HZSM-5." This invention relates to the preparation of a novel Si/HZSM-5 catalyst through vapor phase deposition of silicon on the surface of HZSM-5 catalyst, which is obtained by ion exchanging ZSM-5 catalyst. The source of deposition silicon comes from tetraalkyl ortho-silicate (or tetra-alkoxy silane), Si(OR)4, wherein R represents the alkyl group that contains 1-4 carbon atoms. The silicon deposit will substantially not clog the pores of the catalyst. The present invention aims to utilize the modified catalyst in alkylation or disproportionation reactions to enhance the yield of p-dialkylbenzene, which serves as an ingredient in the final product of aryl compounds such as toluene or ethylbenzene.
