Abstract
A method including subjecting an ultra-stable Y-type zeolite having a low silica-to-alumina molar ratio (SAR), such as in a range of 3 to 6, to acid treatment and heteroatom incorporation contemporaneously to give a framework-modified ultra-stable Y-type zeolite.
Claims24
A method of producing a hydrocracking catalyst for hydrocarbon oil, comprising:
- exchanging at least 80% of sodium (Na) ions in a Y-type zeolite with ammonium (NH4) ions to convert the Y-type zeolite to an ultra-stable Y-type zeolite comprising a silica-to-alumina molar ratio (SAR) in a range of 3 to 6;
- and
- subjecting the ultra-stable Y-type zeolite to acid treatment and heteroatom incorporation contemporaneously to give a framework-modified ultra-stable Y-type zeolite comprising an SAR of at least 20, wherein heteroatoms incorporated into a framework of the ultra-stable Y-type zeolite in the heteroatom incorporation comprise titanium atoms and further comprise zirconium atoms or hafnium atoms, or both.
A method of producing a hydrocracking catalyst, comprising
- preparing a suspension of an ultra-stable Y-type zeolite in a liquid, the ultra-stable Y-type zeolite having a silica-to-alumina molar ratio (SAR) in a range of 3 to 6;
- performing acid treatment on the ultra-stable Y-type zeolite to increase the SAR of the ultra-stable Y-type zeolite, the acid treatment comprising adding an acid to the suspension;
- adding heteroatoms to the suspension contemporaneous with performing the acid treatment to incorporate the heteroatoms into a framework of the ultra-stable Y-type zeolite to give a framework-substituted ultra-stable Y-type zeolite having an SAR of at least 20;
- and
- impregnating a hydrogenative metal on a catalyst support comprising the framework-substituted ultra-stable Y-type zeolite.
A method of forming a framework-modified ultra-stable Y-type zeolite for a catalyst support of a hydrocracking catalyst, comprising:
- subjecting an ultra-stable Y-type zeolite having a silica-to-alumina molar ratio (SAR) in a range of 3 to 6 to acid treatment and heteroatom incorporation contemporaneously to give the framework-modified ultra-stable Y-type zeolite;
- and
- wherein the framework-modified ultra-stable Y-type zeolite comprises an SAR of at least 30 and a specific surface area of at least 600 square meter per gram (m2/g).
