According to one or more embodiments described, a zeolite supported catalyst may be synthesized by a process that includes combining a colloidal mixture with a metal oxide support material to form a support precursor material, processing the support precursor material to form a support material, and impregnating the support material with one or more metals to form the zeolite supported catalyst. The colloidal mixture may include nano-sized zeolite crystals, and the nano-sized zeolite crystals may have an average size of less than 100 nm.

Provided are compositions, articles, systems and methods that comprise or use a catalyst composition comprising a zeolite having an LTA structure with iron, manganese or a combination thereof as an extra-framework metal. The zeolite can have a mole ratio of silica-to-alumina (SAR) of about 15 to about 70 and can contain about 0.5 to about 10 weight percent, based on the total weight of the zeolite, of extra-framework iron, manganese or a combination thereof.

Provided is a process for hydrocracking normal paraffins into lighter normal paraffins with minimal formation of iso-paraffins. The process comprises hydrocracking a hydrocarbon feedstock comprising normal paraffins under hydrocracking conditions. The reaction is run in the presence of a specific type of zeolite based catalyst which has been found to provide high conversion with minimal iso-paraffin products. In one embodiment, the zeolite is of the framework PWO. The reaction conducted in the presence of the zeolite based catalyst produces an n-paraffin rich product that needs no separation step before being fed to a steam cracker to produce lower olefins.

The present invention relates to a process for the manufacture of a copper containing small-pore zeolite which comprisespreparing a reaction mixture comprising a zeolite of the faujasite framework type, Cu-tetraethylenepentamine (Cu-TEPA) and at least one compound M(OH)x, which does not comprise the tetraethylammonium cation andheating the reaction mixture to form a copper containing small-pore zeolite.

Provided is a process for hydrocracking normal paraffins into lighter normal paraffins with minimal formation of iso-paraffins. The process comprises hydrocracking a hydrocarbon feedstock comprising normal paraffins under hydrocracking conditions. The reaction is run in the presence of a selected catalyst, e.g., an LTA-type zeolite, with a requisite topology and acid site density. The zeolite has a framework type with voids greater than 0.50 nm in diameter, which are accessible through apertures characterized by a longest diameter of less than 0.50 nm and a shortest diameter of more than 0.30 nm. The reaction conducted in the presence of such a selected zeolite produces an n-paraffin rich product.
