The present disclosure provides a pyrolysis process for converting an additive-containing plastic comprising a polyolefin polymer to an alkene, an alkane, or a mixture thereof. The process comprises contacting the plastic with a catalyst in a one-pot pyrolysis system at a temperature between about 350 C. and about 500 C.; wherein the catalyst comprises a solid acid selected from the group consisting of HY, HZSM-5, and Al-SBA-15. The present disclosure further provides a one-pot pyrolysis system and uses of a solid acid in the pyrolysis process for converting plastic comprising a polyolefin polymer to an alkene.

An oxidation catalyst composite, methods, and systems for the treatment of exhaust gas emissions from a diesel engine are described. More particularly, described is an oxidation catalyst composite including a first oxidation component comprising a first refractory metal oxide support, palladium (Pd) and platinum (Pt); a NO.sub.x storage component comprising one or more of alumina, silica, titania, ceria, or manganese; and a second oxidation component comprising a second refractory metal oxide, a zeolite, and Pt. The oxidation catalyst composite is sulfur tolerant, adsorbs NO.sub.x and thermally releases the stored NO.sub.x at temperature less than 350 C.

Catalysts and corresponding methods are provided for conversion of Fischer-Tropsch wax to distillate boiling range products. The catalysts can correspond to noble metal catalysts supported on a support that includes a 3-dimensional zeotype and a substantially non-acidic or low acidity oxide binder. It has been discovered that using a substantially non-acidic or low acidity binder allows for improved yield of distillate boiling range products when cracking Fischer-Tropsch wax. It has further been discovered that by using a support including a 3-dimensional zeotype, the temperature for achieving a target level of conversion during hydrocracking can be reduced or minimized

A novel synthetic crystalline borongermanosilicate molecular sieve material, designated boron SSZ-117x, is provided. The boron SSZ-117x can be synthesized using N,N,N,3,5-pentamethyladamantan-1-ammonium cations as a structure directing agent. The synthesis employs a boron pathway to achieve the boron molecular sieve. The boron SSZ-117x may be used in organic compound conversion reactions, such as reforming, and/or sorptive processes.
