The invention relates to a novel zeolite catalysts, methods of producing the zeolite catalysts and a methods of using such catalyst, including for production of BTEX with improved yield, product selectivity and reduced char production. The present invention relates to novel mesoporous zeolite catalysts, as well as methods of producing the same. The present invention also relates to methods of producing renewable aromatic hydrocarbons using such catalysts.

Mesoporous MFI-zeolite catalysts, methods of preparing the same and uses

Zeolites with uniform intracrystal textural pores between 1 and 10 nm are described. Intracrystal pores, an alumina source and a silica source are reacted in the presence of a silane modified polymer as a porogen and the reaction product is calcined to form the zeolite. The zeolites are useful in catalytic reactions and adsorption processes.

Nanolayered layered silicate materials of octahedrally arranged units with divalent metal ions at centers of the units covalently linked above and below to tetrahedrally arranged oxygen and hydroxyl units with silicon atoms. The silicate materials contain silanol groups which are reactive to form derivative compositions useful for water purification to remove heavy meal cations.

Synthetic layered silicate nanolayers

Mesoporous crystalline alumina compositions and process for the preparation thereof are described. The compositions are useful as catalysts and absorbents.

Mesostructured transition aluminas

A process is described for the synthesis of metal oxides in a nanometric particle form that cannot be easily obtained by conventional bulk synthesis techniques. The method makes use of Colloid Occluded Carbons (COC) and Colloid Imprinted Carbons (CIC) as reagents and as templating agents for the preparation of metal oxides in nanometric particle form. The nanometric particles are suitable useful in the field of chemical catalysis, particularly for petroleum refining when in porous form, and as sensors, optical wave guides, and coatings.

A method for the separation and assay of phosphorylated peptides or proteins from complex mixtures of proteins and peptides is described. The method uses a diazo moiety linked by an organic group to a substrate. Kits for performing the assay are also described. The method and kits are particularly useful for detecting changes in phosphorylates produced in living cells.

Method for the enrichment and characterization of phosphorylated peptides or proteins

A method for the removal of arsenic ions from water with a porous silica composition with an organofunctional moiety comprising a thio which binds the arsenic ion and is then removed from the water. The method comprises the quality of the water.

A process for the preparation of mesostructured organofunctional silica and silica-alumina compositions using a hydrolyzable organosilane compound is described. The process uses a water soluble silicate to form the compositions, which have hexagonal, wormhole or foam mesostructures. The compositions are useful for catalytic and sorption applications.

Process for the assembly of ultrastable mesostructured organofunctional silica compositions

Novel lamellar mesoporous silica compositions which can contain functional inorganic elements and organic functional groups as part of the lamellar silica framework structure are described. The compositions are prepared using gemini amine surfactants as templates or structure directing agents. The compositions have novel high temperature and hydrothermal stability and unique fundamental particle structures.

Ultra-stable lamellar mesoporous silica compositions and process for the preparation thereof

Mesoporous hexagonal, cubic, lamellar, wormhole, or cellular foam aluminosilicates, gallosilicates and titanosilicates derived from protozeolitic seeds using an ionic structure directing agent are described. The silicon and aluminum, gallium or titanium centers in the structures are stable so that the framework of the structure does not collapse when heated in the presence of water or water vapor (steam). The steam stable compositions can be used as catalysts for hydrocarbon conversions, including the fluidized bed catalytic cracking and the hydrocracking of petroleum oils, and other reactions of organic compounds.

Process of forming ultrastable porous aluminosilicate structures

Compositions including a fabric layer with a water-insoluble polymer impregnated into the fabric layer to provide sheets are described. In particular, the sheet composites have a permeability to oxygen in the direction perpendicular to the sheet that is less than one-tenth the transmission rate for the fabric layer alone and less than one-fifth the transmission rate for the polymer alone without the fabric layer.

Composite compositions with barrier properties and methods for the preparation thereof

Mesostructured and microporous to mesoporous organofunctionalized silica compositions are described. The compositions incorporate the organofunctional group L as part of a LSiOunit in the framework of the compositions. In addition the compositions incorporate the organofunctional group R as part of a OSi&#x2014;R&#x2014;siOunit in the framework of the compositions. The compositions are useful as molecular sieves, supports for catalysts and numerous other applications requiring an organo group on surfaces of a silica.
