Latest Patents

Iida’s patent, “Oligomerization with Ion-Exchanged Zeolites,” describes catalysts and methods for oligomerizing olefins into compounds within the distillate boiling range. The disclosed catalyst uses a zeolitic framework containing silica and alumina, with either a 10-member ring or a one-dimensional 12-member ring structure. The framework may have a low silica-to-alumina ratio and may be ion-exchanged to a limited but substantial degree with alkaline earth metal cations, including magnesium, calcium, strontium, or barium. The patent describes an alkaline-earth-metal-to-aluminum molar ratio of up to 0.2.
