A disproportionation and transalkylation catalyst can be used in the catalytic conversion of alkyl aromatic hydrocarbons. The catalyst contains an acidic molecular sieve, a first metal component immobilized on the acidic molecular sieve and an oxide additive. The first metal contained in the first metal component is at least one selected from the group of Group VB metals, Group VIB metals and Group VIIB metals, the catalyst has a mediate strong acid content of 0.05-2.0 mmol/g of catalyst, and a ratio of the mediate strong acid content to the total acid content of 60-99%. When used in the catalytic conversion of alkyl aromatic hydrocarbons, the catalyst exhibits high reaction activity, low aromatic hydrocarbon loss rate.

A dewaxing catalyst was prepared through the dissolution of nickel oxide and tungsten powders in an aqueous medium, followed by the impregnation of a ZSM-5 substrate and calcination at 500° C. The synthesized catalyst was used in conjunction with a pyrolytic reactor running at a set point of 360° C. to break down a mixture of plastic grocery bags. The catalyst was found to be selective to the C9 - C22 isomers typical of diesel No. 2. Gas chromatographic analysis indicated the fraction of C24 and heavier components in the pyrolysis product was only 1.0%.

A method of desulfurizing a sulfur-containing hydrocarbon feedstock includes introducing the sulfur-containing hydrocarbon feedstock within a reactor in the presence of a gas atmosphere and a catalyst structure, where the catalyst structure comprises a zeolite porous support structure including gallium (Ga) and molybdenum (Mo) loaded in the zeolite porous support structure. The gas atmosphere can include methane. At least 50% of sulfur content can be removed from the feedstock as a result of the desulfurizing method.
