20090182186 | Supported catalyst for conversion of propane to propene and its use in a process for that conversion - A process for the conversion of propane to propene is disclosed wherein a silica chromium catalyst composition is contacted with a propane feed stream and a carbon dioxide. The silica chromium catalyst composition is further disclosed wherein the composition, optionally, includes a promoter component. | 07-16-2009 |
20100056839 | OLEFIN ISOMERIZATION AND METATHESIS CATALYST - A process for the production of propylene, the process including: contacting ethylene and a hydrocarbon stream comprising 1-butene and 2-butene with a bifunctional isomerization-metathesis catalyst to concurrently isomerizes 1-butene to 2-butene and to form a metathesis product comprising propylene; wherein the bifunctional isomerization-metathesis catalyst comprises: a catalyst compound may include at least one element selected from tungsten, tantalum, niobium, molybdenum, nickel, palladium, osmium, iridium, rhodium, vanadium, ruthenium, and rhenium for providing metathesis activity on a support comprising at least one element from Group IA, IIA, IIB, and IIIA of the Periodic Table of the Elements; wherein an exposed surface area of the support provides both isomerization activity for the isomerization of 1-butene to 2-butene; and reactive sites for the adsorption of catalyst compound poisons. In other embodiments, the catalyst compound may include at least one element selected from aluminum, gallium, iridium, iron, molybdenum, nickel, niobium, osmium, palladium, phosphorus, rhenium, rhodium, ruthenium, tantalum, titanium, tungsten, and vanadium. | 03-04-2010 |
20120157294 | Isomerization Catalysts - Extruded isomerization catalysts comprising MgO, a metal silicate clay binder and a stabilizer and methods of forming such isomerization catalysts are disclosed. Also disclosed are isomerization catalysts that exhibit a fresh isomerization rate and an aged isomerization rate that is at least 50% of the fresh isomerization rate. Embodiments of the isomerization catalysts disclosed herein include metal silicate clay binders that include a layered structure and metal silicate. The metal silicate clay binder may be present in an amount in the range from about 5 wt % to about 20 wt %. Exemplary stabilizers include one or more of ZrO | 06-21-2012 |
20130072739 | Chromia Alumina Catalysts for Alkane Dehydrogenation - Provided are methods of making dehydrogenation catalyst supports containing bayerite and silica. Silica-stabilized alumina powder, prepared by spray drying of bayerite powder, precipitating silica in a bayerite slurry with an acid, or impregnation or co-extrusion of bayerite with sodium silicate solution was found to be a superior catalyst support precursor. Catalysts prepared with these silica containing support materials have higher hydrothermal stability than current CATOFIN® catalysts. Also provided is a dehydrogenation catalyst comprising Cr | 03-21-2013 |
