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.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to hydrocracking catalysts and methods of making same. The hydrocracking catalyst comprises a platinum encapsulated zeolite having a crystallinity greater than 20% determined by X-ray powder diffraction analysis.

The present invention provides a novel process and system in which a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen synthesis gas, or syngas, is converted into hydrocarbon mixtures composed of high quality gasoline components, aromatic compounds, and lower molecular weight gaseous olefins in one reactor or step. The invention utilizes a novel molybdenum-zeolite catalyst in high pressure hydrogen for conversion, as well as a novel rhenium-zeolite catalyst in place of the molybdenum-zeolite catalyst, and provides for use of the novel catalysts in the process and system of the invention.

A method including subjecting an ultra-stable Y-type zeolite having a low silica-to-alumina molar ratio (SAR), such as in a range of 3 to 6, to acid treatment and heteroatom incorporation contemporaneously to give a framework-modified ultra-stable Y-type zeolite.

The present invention relates to catalysts, catalyst systems, and processes for the production of valuable light olefins, such as ethylene, from paraffinic hydrocarbons, such as propane, through dehydrogenation and metathesis. The contacting state between dehydrogenation and metathesis catalysts can advantageously be manipulated using an inert or relatively inert coating or outer shell that provides a degree of physical separation between catalytically active centers or inner cores. This has been discovered to significantly increase olefin selectivity (i.e., reduce undesired hydrogenation/hydrogenolysis side reactions) without an appreciable paraffin conversion deficit, such that the overall yield of desired olefinic hydrocarbons such as ethylene is thereby significantly increased.

This invention discloses a preparation method of a hydrocracking catalyst. According to the method, a new functional group is modified through chemical bonds on the surface of a traditionally prepared inorganic carrier, and a VIB group metal element and a VIIIB metal element are then loaded on the carrier to prepare the hydrocracking catalyst. The hydrocracking catalyst prepared according to the invention has a higher diesel liquid yield.
