This invention relates to a new synthetic crystalline material comprising acidic surface silanol groups, designated MCM-69, a method for its preparation and use thereof in catalytic conversion of organic compounds.

Synthetic crystalline MCM-69, its synthesis and use

The present invention is directed to a large-pore aluminosilicate molecular sieve comprising alumina and silica, where the ratio of SiO,/Al,O,ranges from about 75 to 600, and its method of preparation. The large-pore aluminosilicate molecular sieve of the present invention has the ability to catalyze reactions involving particularly bulky transition states or large molecules.

High activity ZSM-5 and ZSM-11, with alpha values of 1000 to 3500, are produced by synthesis from a reaction mixture containing an organic directing agent selected from a non-cyclic amine having the formula (C,H,N),N,H,wherein n is 1, 2 or 3; m is 0 or 1; q is 0, 1 or 2 and (n&plus;m&plus;q) is either 2 or 4.

Synthesis of ZSM-5 and ZSM-11

The present invention relates to a composition and a method for preparing ZSM-48 exhibiting an X-ray pattern having values as set forth in Table 1 of the specification. The method of the present invention includes (a) preparing a reaction mixture; and (b) maintaining the mixture under crystallization conditions until crystals of the ZSM-48 are formed. The mixture includes a source of silica, a source of trivalent metal oxide, an alkali metal oxide, ethylenediamine and water. The mixture, in terms of mole ratios of oxides, has the following composition ranges:

Synthesis ZSM-48

The permeability of subterranean oil-bearing formations is controlled by injection of an organic polysilicate ester. The ester may be derived from simple, monohydroxylic alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, propanol or butanol, from diols such as ethylene glycol, from polyols such as glycerol and alkylene oxide polymerization products and from other organic compounds containing functional hydroxy groups, for example, partial ethers and esters of glycols and polyols. The polysilicates are injected into a formation through injection wells, suitably in an amount from 10 to 100% of the pore volume of the zone to be treated. In the formation, the polysilicate esters form gels which selectively decrease the permeability of the high permeability regions of the formation, to divert the flow of flooding liquid used in flooding operations to the less permeable regions of the formation.

Polysilicate esters for oil reservoir permeability control

The permeability of subterranean oil-bearing formations is controlled by injection of an organic polysilicate ester.

The polysilicates are injected into a formation through injection wells, suitably in an amount from 10 to 100% of the pore volume of the zone to be treated. In the formation, the polysilicate esters form gels which selectively plug the high permeability regions of the formation, to divert the flow of flooding liquid used in flooding operations to the less permeable regions of the formation.

This invention provides a process for upgrading a variety of hydrocarbon oils including low-grade crudes and fractions thereof. In this process, a hydrocarbon oil having an ASTM 50% temperature not higher than 550.degree. F. is converted at low temperature and pressure to more volatile products by a dispersion of crystalline zeolite catalysts having a silica: alumina ratio of at least 12 and a C.I. within 1-12. Initially, 0.02-10 wt % of the catalyst is dispersed in the feed until the catalyst inventory in the reactor stage accumulates. Thereafter, catalyst is added and removed to maintain a total catalyst content not greater than about 35 wt % of the feed in the reactor.

A novel process for the preparation of ZSM-5 and ZSM-11 utilizing a mixture of both quaternary ammonium ions and amines in the forming solution is disclosed in order to enhance the rate of crystallization.

An enhanced recovery process in which liquid sulfur is burned in an oyxgen-containing gas underground to form SO.sub.2. The SO.sub.2 may itself act as a drive fluid for the recovery of oil or it may react with limestone in the formation to form CO.sub.2, an alternate drive fluid.

Method for production of heavy oil from tar sands

A continuous-stream zeolite crystallization apparatus comprising a combination of a tubular reactor, a central stirring element contained therein, ingress and egress means for the reactor for charging crystalline zeolite forming reactants therein and recovering crystallized zeolites therefrom, respectively, recovery vessels for collecting and processing crystallized zeolites continuously, the reactor and recovery vessels optionally being subjected to a controlled pressure system.

A lower alcohol and/or ether feed is selectively converted to a mixture of light olefins, including ethylene and propylene, by catalytic contact of the feed material with a catalyst comprising one or more zeolites characterized by a silica to alumina mole ratio of at least 12 and a constraint index in the approximate range of 1 to 12. The catalytic conversion is carried out in the presence of bulky heterocyclic organic nitrogen compounds to suppress the formation of mononuclear aromatics. The process of this invention is particularly useful in the production of C.sub.2 -C.sub.3 olefins from methanol or dimethyl ether.

This invention provides a sorbent composition, manganese nodules with occluded sulfur, effective for removing metal contaminants from gases or liquids. It is effective for removing lead contaminant from gasoline and mercury from water or natural gas. It may be used in the chlor-alkali process for cleaning by-product hydrogen. The sorbent also may be used for recovering valuable metals, for example from mine seepage waters.
