Methods for dehydrogenation of perhydro-benzyltoluene are described. The representative two stage reaction processes described herein provide cost-effective high amount of conversion to hydrogen and/or other beneficial products.

Methods for dehydrogenation of perhydro-benzyltoluene

The present disclosure refers in one embodiment to processes for making and transporting clean hydrogen fuel. The processes may involve hydrotreating, hydrocracking, or both hydrotreating and hydrocracking an aromatic feedstock under conditions to obtain a liquid hydrocarbon fuel. The liquid hydrocarbon fuel is hydrogenated to obtain a hydrogen-rich fuel that is transported to a dehydrogenation facility that may also be at or near a hydrogen station. The hydrogen-rich fuel is used to obtain hydrogen and a second liquid hydrocarbon fuel.

Clean liquid fuels hydrogen carrier processes

A process is disclosed for producing distillate range hydrocarbons using MTW and/or SSZ-41x catalysts.

Use of SSZ-41X and MTW zeolites for the production of jet and diesel fuels

Zeolites having highly dispersed bimetallic clusters, uniformly distributed in size and composition, encapsulated therein are disclosed. Metal encapsulation and alloying is conferred by introducing ligated metal cation precursors into zeolite synthesis gels, which are subsequently crystallized hydrothermally to form zeolites with metal cations occluded in the pores. The ligated cations are anchored to the zeolite framework via siloxane bridges which enforces their uniform dispersion throughout the zeolite crystals. Treatment of the crystallized zeolites in Oand then Hforms bimetallic clusters, which remain narrowly distributed in size and composition.
