A catalyst structure includes a porous support structure, where the support structure includes an aluminosilicate material and any two or more metals loaded in the porous support structure selected from Ga, Ag, Mo, Zn, Co and Ce. The catalyst structure is used in a hydrocarbon upgrading process that is conducted in the presence of methane, nitrogen or hydrogen.

The present invention relates to the catalytic processes for rendering harmless the flue gases of the power stations or more precisely to the catalysts for sulfur oxides reduction to elemental sulfur. The novel catalyst presents the binary polycations of copper and zinc or copper and manganese incorporated into the low silica faujasite X (LSX) having transition metals ratio Cu:Zn or Cu:Mn in the range of 2:1 to 4:1.

The present invention relates to a catalyst for isomerization of alkylated aromatics such as mixed xylenes, using xylene isomerization catalyst particles including post-framework modified USY zeolite in which zirconium atoms and/or titanium atoms and/or hafnium atoms form a part of a framework of an ultra-stable Y-type zeolite.

A catalyst structure includes a porous support structure, where the support structure includes an aluminosilicate material. Any two or more metals are loaded in the porous support structure, the two or more metals selected from the group consisting of Ga, Ag, Mo, Zn, Co and Ce, where each metal loaded in the porous support structure is present in an amount from about 0.1 wt % to about 20 wt %. In example embodiments, the catalyst structure includes three or more of the metals loaded in the porous support structure. The catalyst structure is used in a hydrocarbon upgrading process that is conducted in the presence of methane, nitrogen or hydrogen.

The invention is broadly drawn to a process to introduce mesoporosity in faujasite zeolites with Si/Al<5 and unit cell sizes below 24.58 Angstrom by an inventive sequence of acid and base treatments, yielding superior physico-chemical and catalytic properties compared to the materials prepared according to the teachings known in the state of the art. Part of the invention relates to the acid step which is executed in the presence of a salt of which the anion is able to form multi-ligand complexes with aluminum, and of which a specific amount of cations are protonic (ca. 90% to 20% of the total cations with −3<pK<6). The superior properties may be the combination of an enhanced mesoporosity with a higher Brønsted acidity, a higher microporosity, a higher mesoporosity, a higher crystallinity, and/or combinations hereof.

A cluster-supporting catalyst including porous carrier particles having acid sites, and catalyst metal clusters supported within the pores of the porous carrier particles. In the cluster-supporting catalyst including porous carrier particles having acid sites, and catalyst metal clusters supported within the pores of the porous carrier particles, the catalyst metal may be rhodium, the catalyst metal may be palladium, the catalyst metal may be platinum, or the catalyst metal may be copper.
