The present invention is directed to an improved hydrocracking catalyst containing an amorphous silica-alumina (ASA) base and alumina support. The ASA base is characterized as having a high nanopore volume and low particle density. The alumina support is characterized as having a high nanopore volume. Hydrocracking catalysts employing the combination high nanopore volume ASA base and alumina support exhibit improved hydrogen efficiency, and greater product yield and quality, as compared to hydrocracking catalysts containing conventional ASA base and alumina components.

This disclosure relates to the production of xylenes from syngas, in which the syngas is converted to an aromatic product by reaction with a Fischer-Tropsch catalyst and an aromatization catalyst. The Fischer-Tropsch catalyst and aromatization catalyst may be different catalysts or combined into a single catalyst. The aromatic product is then subjected to selective alkylation with methanol and/or carbon monoxide and hydrogen to increase its p-xylene content.

Provided is a catalyst washcoat comprising (i) a molecular sieve loaded with about 1 to about 10 weight percent of at least non-aluminum promoter metal (wherein the promoter metal weight percent is based on the weight of the molecular sieve); and (ii) about 1 to about 30 weight percent of a binder having a d90 particle size of less than 10 microns (wherein the binder weight percent is based on the total weight of the washcoat). In another aspect of the invention, the catalyst washcoat is applied to a wall-flow filter to form a catalyst article. In another aspect of the invention the catalyst article is part of an exhaust gas treatment system. And in yet another aspect of the invention, provided is a method for treating exhaust gas using the catalyst article.
