The present invention relates to a process for process for the preparation of a zeolitic material which process comprises (i) providing a boron-containing zeolitic material and (ii) deboronating the boron-containing zeolitic material by treating the boron-containing zeolitic material with a liquid solvent system thereby obtaining a deboronated zeolitic material, which liquid solvent system does not contain an inorganic or organic acid, or a salt thereof.

The invention relates to converting non-aromatic hydrocarbon in the presence of CO.sub.2 to produce aromatic hydrocarbon. CO.sub.2 methanation using molecular hydrogen produced during the aromatization increases aromatic hydrocarbon yield. The invention also relates to equipment and materials useful in such upgrading, to processes for carrying out such upgrading, and to the use of such processes for, e.g., natural gas upgrading.

A method for making a functional structural body includes a skeletal body of a porous structure composed of a zeolite-type compound, and at least one type of metallic nanoparticles present in the skeletal body, the skeletal body having channels connecting with each other, the metallic nanoparticles being present at least in the channels of the skeletal body.

The invention relates to the production of aromatic hydrocarbon by the conversion of a feed comprising saturated hydrocarbon. At least a portion of the saturated hydrocarbon is converted to olefinic hydrocarbon. Aromatic hydrocarbon is produced from at least a portion of the olefinic hydrocarbon using at least one dehydrocyclization catalyst comprising dehydrogenation and molecular sieve components.

A catalytic system containing a titanium zeolite of structure type MWW optionally containing zinc and containing at least one of an inorganic potassium salt and an organic potassium salt is provided. The catalyst system is useful in the preparation of propylene oxide.

The present invention is directed to the synthesis of novel delaminated layered zeolite precursor materials prepared by fluoride/chloride anion-promoted exfoliation. The method comprises, for example, using a combination of fluoride and chloride anions at a mild pH in a non-aqueous solution to affect delamination of a layered zeolite precursor, generally comprising an organic solvent. The method may be used in conjunction with either acidification or sonication, or both. The resulting delaminated zeolite precursors are then isolated. Precursors that are then isolated lack amorphous silica content. The UCB-1 product is an example of such a novel oxide material and is obtained in yields in excess of 90% without the need for sonication.

A continuous process for the preparation of propylene oxide, comprising (i) providing a liquid feed stream comprising propene, hydrogen peroxide, acetonitrile, water, dissolved potassium dihydrogen phosphate, and optionally propane; (ii) passing the liquid feed stream provided in (i) into an epoxidation reactor comprising a catalyst comprising a titanium zeolite of structure type MWW, and subjecting the liquid feed stream to epoxidation reaction conditions; (iii) removing an effluent stream from the epoxidation reactor; wherein the concentration of the dissolved potassium dihydrogen phosphate in the liquid feed stream is at least 10% of the solubility limit of the potassium dihydrogen phosphate in the liquid feed stream.

At least a portion of the saturated hydrocarbon is converted to olefinic hydrocarbon. Aromatic hydrocarbon is produced from at least a portion of the olefinic hydrocarbon using at least one dehydrocyclization catalyst comprising dehydrogenation and molecular sieve components.

The present invention provides a modified composite molecular sieve, and a preparation method and an application of the modified composite molecular sieve. The modified composite molecular sieve comprises SiO.sub.2 and a composite molecular sieve that comprises molecular sieve MCM-22 and zeolite A selected from at least one of ZSM-22, ZSM-23 and ZSM-48, wherein, the molecular sieve MCM-22 covers around the zeolite A. The present invention further provides a catalyst and an application of the catalyst. The catalyst comprises a carrier and a noble metal loaded on the carrier, wherein, the carrier comprises a modified composite molecular sieve that is the modified composite molecular sieve provided in the present invention or the modified composite molecular sieve obtained with the method provided in the present invention. The catalyst that utilizes the composite molecular sieve as a carrier not only can decrease the solidifying point of waxy raw oil, but also can improve the yield of liquid product, is especially applicable to the isomerization dewaxing process of lube distillate, and has an advantage of remarkably improving the viscosity index of lube base oil.
