Platinum or other platinum-group metals can be deposited substantially on the surface only of pellets of a refractory catalyst support by impregnation with an aqueous solution of such as hexammonium platinum tetrasulfite. The resulting catalysts contain relatively small total amounts of platinum-group metal positioned primarily at the surface, yet are as highly active as catalysts uniformly impregnated throughout the body of the pellet and containing much larger amounts of platinum-group metal. The catalyst further can contain rhenium.

Platinum group metal catalyst on the surface of a support and a process

The catalytic hydrodenitrogenation of organic compounds containing sulfur and/or nitrogen is carried out in the presence of a catalyst composition comprising zinc titanate and at least one promoter selected from the group consisting of vanadium, chromium, cobalt, nickel, molybdenum, tungsten, rhenium, platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, and compounds thereof.

Catalytic hydrodenitrogenation of organic compounds employing promoted

The catalytic hydrodesulfurization and/or hydrodenitrogenation of organic compounds containing sulfur and/or nitrogen is carried out in the presence of a catalyst composition comprising zinc, titanium and at least one promoter selected from the group consisting of vanadium, chromium, cobalt, nickel, molybdenum, tungsten, rhenium, platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, and compounds thereof.

Promoted zinc titanate as catalytic agent

The catalytic reforming of a feedstock which contains at least one reformable organic compound or the hydrocracking of a feedstock which contains at least one hydrocrackable organic compound is carried out in the presence of a catalyst composition comprising zinc, titanium and rhenium.

Catalytic reforming and hydrocracking of organic compounds employing

The catalytic reforming of a feedstock which contains at least one reformable organic compound or the hydrocracking of a feedstock which contains at least one hydrocrackable organic compound is carried out in the presence of a catalyst composition comprising zinc and titanium.

Dehydrogenatable organic compounds diluted with steam, are dehydrogenated in the absence of free oxygen at high conversion and selectivity to less saturated compounds with a catalyst composite consisting essentially of one or more metals selected from the group consisting of Ni, Pd, Pt, Ir and Os, tin and a metal selected from the group consisting of gold and silver deposited on a support such as alumina, silica or a Group II aluminate spinel.

Catalytic dehydrogenation process

Dehydrogenatable organic compounds, diluted with steam, are dehydrogenated in the absence of free oxygen at high conversion and selectivity to less saturated compounds with a catalyst composite consisting essentially of one or more metals selected from the group consisting of Ni, Pd, Pt, Ir and Os in association with tin and a metal selected from the group consisting of cesium, rubidium, thalium and cerium deposited on a support such as alumina, silica or a Group II aluminate spinel.

Catalyst for dehydrogenation process

A process for treating a hydrocarbon composition containing both straight chain and non-straight chain hydrocarbons in which said hydrocarbon composition is separated into a straight chain hydrocarbon-rich fraction and a non-straight chain hydrocarbon-rich fraction, non-aromatics in said non-straight chain hydrocarbon-rich fraction are converted to aromatics, and at least a portion of the straight chain hydrocarbon-rich fraction is passed in combination with steam over a steam active catalyst comprising at least one Group VIII metal and a tin modified Group II metal aluminate under conditions such that aromatics are produced.

Hydrocarbon treating process

A feedstock comprising olefinic hydrocarbons having more than one double bond per molecule is selectively hydrogenated to produce hydrocarbons having less unsaturation relative to the feedstock by contacting the feedstock in the presence of steam and hydrogen with a catalyst comprising a Group VIII metal or an oxide thereof on a carrier comprising a Group II metal aluminate spinel containing tin or an oxide of tin. The feedstock can be produced by reforming paraffin and cycloparaffin hydrocarbons in the presence of steam with a catalyst comprising a Group VIII metal or an oxide thereof on a carrier comprising a Group II metal aluminate spinel containing tin or an oxide of tin.

Selective hydrogenation of polyenes

Acetylenic compounds are selectively removed from hydrocarbon mixtures containing same by oxidation in the presence of a solid copper-manganese-oxygen catalyst. In one embodiment, acetylenic compounds are selectively removed from a conjugated diene mixture containing same by contacting oxygen and a mixture with a copper manganite catalyst under oxidizing conditions.

Oxidation of acetylenic impurities with copper manganite catalyst

Acetylenic compounds are selectively removed from hydrocarbon mixtures containing same by oxidation in the presence of a copper-manganese-rare earth metal-zinc aluminate catalyst. In one embodiment, acetylenic compounds are selectively removed from a conjugated diene mixture containing same by contacting oxygen and the mixture with a catalyst of zinc aluminate promoted with copper, manganese, and a rare earth metal under oxidizing conditions.

Selective oxidation of acetylenes

Acetylenic compounds are selectively removed from hydrocarbon mixtures containing same by oxidation in the presence of a copper chromite catalyst. In one embodiment, acetylenic compounds are selectively removed from streams containing C.sub.4 unsaturated hydrocarbons containing same by contacting oxygen and the stream with a catalyst of copper, chromium, and oxygen under oxidizing conditions.

A C.sub.6 hydrocarbon stream is converted to benzene, cyclohexane and a motor fuel blending stock by a combination of steps comprising fractionation, hydrogenation and isomerization of the fractions boiling in the isohexanes range and above the n-hexane range, and reforming of the fraction boiling in the n-hexane range and separately recovering a motor fuel blending stock, cyclohexane and benzene as products of the process.
