Compositions and methods for preparing mesoporous materials from low Si/Al ratio zeolites. Such compositions can be prepared by acid wash and/or isomorphic substitution pretreatment of low Si/Al ratio zeolites prior to introduction of mesoporosity.

Introduction of mesoporosity in low Si/Al zeolites

A composition comprising a base component and a polymer, and a method of making said composition, are disclosed. The composition thereby obtained is then used as a catalyst for isoparaffin-olefin alkylation.

Isoparaffin-Olefin alkylation

A process for hydrogenating highly unsaturated hydrocarbons to less unsaturated hydrocarbons wherein production of saturated hydrocarbons is minimized. The process utilizes catalyst including CeO, MgO, and an inorganic support, and optionally palladium, optionally silver, and/or an optional alkali metal.

Process for hydrogenating highly unsaturated hydrocarbons and catalyst therefor

Compositions and methods for preparing mesostructured zeolites having improved hydrothermal stability. Such mesostructured zeolites can be prepared by subjecting a zeolite to rare earth ion exchange prior to and/or subsequent to introducing mesoporosity into the zeolite.

Compositions and methods for improving the hydrothermal stability of mesostructured zeolites by rare earth ion exchange

A method of screening catalysts for liquid-phase selective hydrogenation by preparing a test catalyst by adding a promoter to a reference catalyst; preparing a liquid reactant stream comprising CHdissolved in n-methyl-2-pyrrolidone; testing the test and reference catalysts by contacting the reactant stream and gas mixture comprising hydrogen and carbon monoxide in continuous flow with the test catalyst and reference catalyst, respectively, at selective hydrogenation reaction conditions to produce a product stream, condensing substantially all of the n-methyl-2-pyrrolidone from the product stream; measuring the concentrations of products comprising CH, CH, and CHin the product stream at steady state; determining performance parameters for the test catalyst and the reference catalyst comprising the respective CHconversion Sand CHselectivity relative to CHS; and comparing the test catalyst performance parameters to those for the reference catalyst.

Catalyst formulation for hydrogenation

A process and catalyst for the liquid phase selective hydrogenation of alkynes to alkenes with high selectivity to alkenes relative to alkanes, high alkyne conversion, and sustained catalytic activity comprising a reactant comprising an alkyne and a non-hydrocarbon solvent/absorbent, contacting the reactant stream with a hydrogen-containing stream in the presence of a supported, promoted, Group VIII catalyst, removing the solvent/absorbent, and recovering the alkene product.

Process for liquid phase hydrogenation

Isoparaffin-olefin alkylation

A composition and method for preparation of a catalyst for the liquid phase selective hydrogenation of alkynes to alkenes with high selectivity to alkenes relative to alkanes, high alkyne conversion, and sustained catalytic activity comprising a Group VIII metal and a Group IB, Group IIB, Group IIIA, and/or Group VIIB promoter on a particulate support.

The invention provides methods of recovering a pore-forming agent from an inorganic material that defines a plurality of mesopores having a controlled cross sectional area to form a mesostructure having long-range crystallinity and also to methods of making one or more mesostructures that features removal, recovery, and/or reuse of the pore-forming agent. Suitable pore-forming agents include, for example, surfactants.

Methods of recovery of pore-forming agents for mesostructured materials

A composition, containing vanadium and a support, wherein at least a portion of the vanadium has crystallite sizes of less than about 100 &#x212b; as determined by an analytical method such as X-Ray Diffraction, is disclosed. A method of preparing such composition is also disclosed. The composition is employed in a process to remove a heavy metal from a gaseous feed stream which can optionally include a separate mercury adsorption stage.

Process for the removal of heavy metals from gases

A sour gas sweetening solution comprises an aqueous solution of a silicon-containing compound and an amine-containing compound. The silicon-containing compound is preferably maintained at a concentration less than or equal to 500 parts per million ('ppm') more preferably less than or equal to 400 ppm, and most preferably between about 100 ppm and 300 ppm as SiO. The silicon-containing compound can be MSiO, wherein 'M' is a metal and &#x201c;x&#x201d;, &#x201c;y&#x201d; and &#x201c;z&#x201d; are numbers greater than zero. The amine-containing compound can be selected from the group consisting of primary amines, secondary amines and tertiary amines.
