Abstract:
A metal organic framework comprising zinc (II) ions and second metal ions, such as iron (II) ions, cobalt (II) ions, and copper (II) ions as nodes or clusters and coordinated 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid struts or linkers between them forming a porous coordination network in the form of polyhedral crystals that are isostructural to HKUST-1. Transmetallation processes for producing the metal organic frameworks, as well as methods for applications of the metal organic frameworks as catalysts, specifically catalysts for the oxidation of cyclic hydrocarbons, such as toluene, cyclohexane, and methylcyclohexane.
Abstract:
Hydrocarbon (HC) traps are disclosed. The HC trap may include a first zeolite material having an average pore diameter of at least 5.0 angstroms and configured to trap hydrocarbons from an exhaust stream and to release at least a portion of the trapped hydrocarbons at a temperature of at least 225° C. The HC trap may also include a second zeolite material having an average pore diameter of less than 5.0 angstroms or larger than 7.0 angstroms. One or both of the zeolite materials may include metal ions, such as transition, Group 1A, or platinum group metals. The HC trap may include two or more discrete layers of zeolite materials or the two or more zeolite materials may be mixed. The multiple zeolite HC trap may form coke molecules having a relatively low combustion temperature, such as below 500° C.
Abstract:
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 aqueous solution to affect delamination of a layered zeolite precursor. The method can also comprise using a combination of fluoride and chloride anions in a non-aqueous solution 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.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a SAPO-34 molecular sieve having both micropores and mesopores and synthesis method thereof. The mesopore diameter in the molecular sieve is in a range of 2-10 nm and the mesopore volume thereof is 0.03-0.3 cm3/g. Triethylamine is used as a template agent and the pore size modifiers are added to the synthesis gel at the same time in the synthesis process, thereby the prepared molecular sieve crystals have mesopore distribution besides micropores. The SAPO-34 molecular sieve synthesized in the present invention can be used as catalysts for conversion of oxygen-containing compounds to lower olefins.
Abstract:
Carbide-derived carbons are provided that have high dynamic loading capacity for high vapor pressure gasses such as H2S, SO2, or NH3. The carbide-derived carbons can have a plurality of metal chloride or metallic nanoparticles entrapped therein. Carbide-derived carbons are provided by extracting a metal from a metal carbide by chlorination of the metal carbide to produce a porous carbon framework having residual metal chloride nanoparticles incorporated therein, and annealing the porous carbon framework with H2 to remove residual chloride by reducing the metal chloride nanoparticles to produce the metallic nanoparticles entrapped within the porous carbon framework. The metals can include Fe, Co, Mo, or a combination thereof. The carbide-derived carbons are provided with an ammonia dynamic loading capacity of 6.9 mmol g−1 to 10 mmol g−1 at a relative humidity of 0% RH to 75% RH.

Abstract:
Provided is an improved process for olefin oligomerization allowing one to realize superior selectivity. The process comprises contacting a hydrocarbon feed comprised of straight and branched chain olefins under oligomerization conditions with a catalyst comprising delaminated SSZ-70. The delaminated SSZ-70 offers a zeolite layer with a single unit cell of thickness in one dimension, allowing for elimination of mass transfer in comparison with regular SSZ-70. The result is superior selectivity.
