Disclosed herein is a catalytic process for producing higher olefins including three- to four-carbon olefins from ethene sources by producing an ethene-containing stream from an ethene source, and subjecting the ethene-containing stream to a catalytic oligomerization process. In this catalytic process, the catalytic oligomerization process comprises exposing the ethene-containing stream in contact with a catalyst including a mixture of a zeolite material and a zeotype material.

Methods for engineered mesoporous cellular magmatics and articles thereof are disclosed. For example, the magmatics may include a mixture of substance that, when exposed to heat for a length of time, form a foamed mass. The foamed mass may be exposed to a solution configured to cause mineralization upon and within the articles.

The present invention relates to a zeolitic material having a framework structure comprising Si, O, and Ti, obtained or obtainable from a Ti containing compound, wherein the Ti containing compound has an APHA color number of ≤ 300. In a second aspect, the invention relates to the Ti containing compound having an APHA color number of ≤ 300. A third aspect of the present invention is related to the use of the Ti containing compound having an APHA color number of ≤ 300 of the second aspect for the preparation of a zeolitic material having framework structure comprising Si, O, and Ti, as well as to a process for preparation of a zeolitic material as in the first aspect having a framework structure comprising Si, O, and Ti, wherein the zeolitic material having a framework structure comprising Si, O, and Ti, is prepared from a Ti containing compound having an APHA color number of ≤ 300 as of the second aspect. A fourth aspect of the invention is directed to a molding comprising the zeolitic material having a framework structure comprising Si, O, and Ti as of the first aspect, as well as to the use of the molding as an adsorbent, an absorbent, a catalyst or a catalyst component. A fifth aspect of the invention relates to a process for oxidizing an organic compound comprising bringing an organic compound in contact with a catalyst comprising a molding as of the fourth aspect, wherein a sixth aspect relates to propylene oxide obtained or obtainable from the process according to the fifth aspect.

The present invention relates to a heavy oil catalytic cracking catalyst and preparation method thereof. The catalyst comprises 2 to 50% by weight of an ultra-stable rare earth type Y molecular sieve, 0.5 to 30% by weight of one or more other molecular sieves, 0.5 to 70% by weight of clay, 1.0 to 65% by weight of high-temperature-resistant inorganic oxides, and 0.01 to 12.5% by weight of rare earth oxide. The ultra-stable rare earth type Y molecular sieve is obtained as follows: the raw material, NaY molecular sieve, is subjected to a rare earth exchange and a dispersing pre-exchange, and the molecular sieve slurry is filtered, washed and subjected to a first calcination to produce a “one-exchange one-calcination” rare earth sodium Y molecular sieve, wherein the order of the rare earth exchange and the dispersing pre-exchange is not limited; and the “one-exchange one-calcination” rare earth sodium Y molecular sieve is further subjected to ammonium salt exchange for sodium reduction and a second calcination. The catalyst provided in the present invention is characteristic in its high heavy-oil-conversion capacity, a high total liquid yield and a high light oil yield.

A phosphorus-modified MFI-structured molecular sieve is characterized in that the molecular sieve has a K value, satisfying: 70%≤K≤90%; for example, 75%≤K≤90%; further for example, 78%≤K≤85%. The K value is as defined in the specification. A cracking auxiliary or cracking catalyst contains the phosphorus-modified MFI molecular sieve.

A system for recovering rare earth elements from coal ash includes a leaching reactor, an ash dryer downstream of the leaching reactor, and a roaster downstream of the ash dryer that is cooperatively connected to both the leaching reactor and the ash dryer. Coal ash is mixed with an acid stream such that rare earth elements present in the coal ash are dissolved in the acid stream, thereby creating (i) a leachate containing the rare earth elements and (ii) leached ash. The leachate is heated to obtain acid vapor and an acid-soluble rare earth concentrate. Mixing of the coal ash with the acid stream can occur in a leaching reactor and heating of the leachate can occur in a roaster. The acid-soluble rare earth concentrate can be fed to a hydrometallurgical process to separate and purify the rare earth elements.
