A composite media for non-oxidative C2H6 dehydrogenation comprises an aluminosilicate zeolite matrix, and an EDH catalyst on one or more of an external surface of the aluminosilicate zeolite matrix and internal surfaces within pores of the aluminosilicate zeolite matrix. The EDH catalyst comprises one or more of Fe, Zn, Pt, Ga, alloys thereof, and oxides thereof. A C2H6 activation system, and a method of processing a C2H6-containing stream are also described.

The present invention relates to a hydrocarbon adsorbent with metal-impregnated zeolite particles having regular mesopores and a manufacturing method therefor. The hydrocarbon adsorbent includes a metal cation and a metal oxide that are impregnated in zeolite particles, in particular, the zeolite particles include regularly formed mesopores having a size of 2 to 10. By adjusting a Si/Al ratio and mesoporosity of the mesopores, a hydrocarbon adsorbent may have increased adsorption capacity for hydrocarbons in a cold-start section and can rapidly oxidize the hydrocarbon upon desorption thereof, thereby reducing the discharge of exhaust gas produced in automobiles and industries.

The application provides a catalyst for producing ethylene and propylene from methanol and/or dimethyl ether, and a preparation and application thereof. In the present application, a molecular sieve catalyst co-modified by rare earth metals and silanization is utilized. First, the material containing methanol and/or dimethyl ether reacts on the catalyst to generate hydrocarbons. The hydrocarbons are separated into a C.sub.1-C.sub.5 component and a C.sub.6.sup.+ component. Then the C.sub.6.sup.+ component is recycled to the feeding port and fed into the reactor after mixing with methanol and/or dimethyl ether. The above steps are repeated, to finally generate C.sub.1-C.sub.5 products, in which the selectivity for ethylene and propylene can reach more than 90 wt % in the C.sub.1-C.sub.5 component, so that the maximal yield can be achieved in the production of ethylene and propylene from methanol and/or dimethyl ether.

The present invention relates to a heavy oil catalytic cracking catalyst and preparation method thereof. The catalyst comprises 2 to 50% by weight of an ultra-stable rare earth type Y molecular sieve, 0.5 to 30% by weight of one or more other molecular sieves, 0.5 to 70% by weight of clay, 1.0 to 65% by weight of high-temperature-resistant inorganic oxides, and 0.01 to 12.5% by weight of rare earth oxide. The ultra-stable rare earth type Y molecular sieve is obtained as follows: the raw material, NaY molecular sieve, is subjected to a rare earth exchange and a dispersing pre-exchange, and the molecular sieve slurry is filtered, washed and subjected to a first calcination to produce a “one-exchange one-calcination” rare earth sodium Y molecular sieve, wherein the order of the rare earth exchange and the dispersing pre-exchange is not limited; and the “one-exchange one-calcination” rare earth sodium Y molecular sieve is further subjected to ammonium salt exchange for sodium reduction and a second calcination. The catalyst provided in the present invention is characteristic in its high heavy-oil-conversion capacity, a high total liquid yield and a high light oil yield.
