Abstract
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.
Claims16
A method for synthesizing a zeolite supported catalyst suitable for hydrocracking reactions, the method comprising:
- combining a colloidal mixture with a metal oxide support material to form a support precursor material, where the colloidal mixture comprises nano-sized zeolite crystals having an average size of less than 100 nm, and the metal oxide support material comprises a small pore size metal oxide having a pore volume of from 0.4 mL/g to 0.6 mL/g and a large pore size metal oxide having a pore volume of from 0.8 mL/g to 1.2 mL/g;
- 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.
