Method for producing hydroisomerized and/or hydrocracked hydrocarbons with hierarchical zeolitic materials

Abstract

Methods for converting hydrocarbonaceous feedstocks to value added products via a hydroisomerization/hydrocracking catalyst that contains at least two or more zeolitic materials comprising hierarchical porosity, each material having a mesostructure between 2-50 nm are described. Specifically, the improved acid function in these catalysts is obtained by mesoporizing a first zeolite and blending the mesoporized first zeolite with an as-synthesized mesoporous second zeolite; or mesoporizing a first zeolite; mesoporizing a second zeolite, and blending the mesoporized first zeolite with the mesoporized second zeolite; or blending a first zeolite and a second zeolite; and mesoporizing the blend of the first zeolite and the second zeolite; wherein the first zeolite comprises Y zeolite, and the second zeolite comprises a one-dimensional, 10-ring zeolite.
