Abstract
A catalyst structure includes a porous support structure, where the support structure includes an aluminosilicate material. Any two or more metals are loaded in the porous support structure, the two or more metals selected from the group consisting of Ga, Ag, Mo, Zn, Co and Ce, where each metal loaded in the porous support structure is present in an amount from about 0.1 wt % to about 20 wt %. In example embodiments, the catalyst structure includes three or more of the metals loaded in the porous support structure. The catalyst structure is used in a hydrocarbon upgrading process that is conducted in the presence of methane, nitrogen or hydrogen.
Claims22
A catalyst structure for upgrading a hydrocarbon feedstock that results in a change in one or more properties of the hydrocarbon feedstock, the catalyst structure comprising:
- a porous support structure comprising an aluminosilicate material, and
- a plurality of metals loaded in the porous support structure, the plurality of metals comprising:
- (a) at least three metals selected from the group consisting of Ga, Ag, Zn, Co and Ce;
- or
- (b) at least three metals selected from the group consisting of Ga, Ag, Mo, Zn and Co;
- wherein each metal loaded in the porous support structure is present in an amount from about 0.1 wt % to about 20 wt % based upon the weight of the porous support structure.
